Indoor group photograph in a home room with pale pink walls, grey-green curtains and a bed draped in pink cloth. A seated man in a saffron-orange robe with a white flower garland and orange head covering, hands folded in greeting, is the central figure; the page identifies him as a person from his saffron robe, garland and central seated role. Around him, women in saffron, red, white and pink saris and men in white shirts and dhotis stand or kneel, some with hands folded. A silver puja vessel sits on a patterned rug in front, and a framed poster hangs on the upper right wall. A television and stereo are at right.
