A photo taken outdoors at a house visit. A woman in an orange-saffron sleeveless top kneels with her back to the camera, her head bowed while another person places a red and yellow flower garland around her neck. Beside them a smiling girl in a pink floral dress reaches up to help, and a smiling older woman in a maroon top stands behind. On the right a man with grey hair wears a white dhoti with a gold border and a saffron-orange shawl and smiles. Gold bangles are visible on the kneeling woman's arm. A white wall, black gate and blurred trees form the background. a person is not visibly present; the man on the right is a devotee and no appearance-based candidate qualifies.
