A photograph of a home ritual in progress. A seated figure on the right, wearing a multicoloured flower garland of red, orange, yellow and white blooms, a rust-orange cloth and gold bangles, holds a silver trident-like staff upright. Before him, a woman in a pink blouse and a man in white are holding a lit flame on a plate, while a young man in white with a red shawl sits beside a small fire. Standing behind them are a woman in a green-and-red saree with palms pressed together, another woman in white with hands folded, a man in white with hands folded, and a man in white holding a camera. A seated devotee in white is in the lower foreground. The floor has patterned rugs scattered with flower petals, and the room has lilac walls and a wooden cabinet. The seated figure's role and identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so he is described only by his position and dress.
