A photograph taken indoors in a small room with pink-red walls and a wooden door. On the right, a figure with long swept-back hair sits on a cushioned seat wearing an orange-red robe, a rudraksha mala, and a large garland of white jasmine and red flowers, holding a silver trident-like staff upright; the figure bears distinctive ceremonial cues, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in the role of seated spiritual leader. Around him, devotees sit or stand: a woman in a white saree with gold border and rudraksha necklace stands on the left, seated women in teal and brown clothing and children hold handfuls of white flowers, while several saffron-robed young ascetics stand in the background. A brass plate of fruit sits in front of the seated group. A framed picture hangs on the wall.

In the foreground, an elderly man in white shirt and an older woman in white sari sit before a brass plate with a lit oil lamp and grains, joining their hands in prayer. Behind them, a woman in a teal sari, a woman in white with gold bangles and a rudraksha-style necklace, and several children and young people stand or sit with palms pressed together. A bald man in orange cloth stands near the back, and a man in white clothes stands at the left edge. The scene resembles a blessing or aarti in a home. The swami-like seated figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2014-07-04 +1 copiesJuly 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copiesA photograph inside a small room with coral-pink walls and a green-painted shelf.
