Indoor home puja scene in a living room with a window, air conditioner and a wall shelf of small figurines. A man with long swept-back dark hair, a red-and-white flower garland, gold armbands and a red-orange robe sits on an orange-cushioned seat holding a tall silver staff, with a smile and tilak on his forehead; the appearance is consistent with Swamiji (probable), seated as the guest of honour. Seated devotees on the floor include a woman in a maroon sari with palms joined, a woman in a purple-and-yellow sari, a man in white dhoti with palms joined, a woman in red and gold, and a younger woman in orange. A brass lamp with a lit flame and a tray of offerings sit on the floor, and a man in orange and white stands in the background near a doorway with a hanging brass ornament. Fresh flower garlands hang from the doorframe.
