Photograph of a devotional home visit in a room decorated with garlands of yellow, white and pink flowers. A long-haired figure seated on a red cushion wears a rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklaces, gold armlets and an orange-and-saffron garment; this figure has distinctive long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and saffron clothing, and appearance suggests a person, seated and receiving devotees. A woman in a gold-and-orange silk saree with a red flower garland stands with hands folded in greeting. Nearby a man in white shirt and white dhoti kneels beside a small child in a teal top. Behind them a standing sadhu in saffron robes holds a silver trident, and other men in white stand near a tray of offerings, a kalasha-like arrangement and a cooler.
