A seated figure in orange-red robes and a rudraksha mala, wearing a multicolour flower garland with a red-and-yellow marigold arrangement, receives honour in a small room with a white wall and sink. A man in glasses and a white shirt, with a red garland, leans in and extends his hands toward him while a woman in a white-and-blue top bows low holding a red apple. Seated devotees in the background watch, and a tray of apples, fruit and offerings sits at the lower right beside a bangle-wearing hand. A seated figure with a shaved head in the foreground faces away from the camera. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and ornate gold bangles, and is presented with a garland and reverence, consistent with a person, receiving honour during a house visit.
