Indoor photo in a plain white-walled room with a blue-carpeted floor. A long-haired person in a saffron-orange robe sits cross-legged on a white-draped seat, palms pressed together in greeting. Beside them, a seated person in orange, back to camera, faces them above a white cloth laid with fruit, a brass pot, flower petals and small brass bowls. To the left, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti sits with hands folded, a woman in a white sari with orange border sits beside him, and a young girl in white kneels with hands joined. A glass case of offerings and a floral arrangement stand on a side table at right, and a woman in orange in the lower right corner also has hands folded. The setting suggests a seated puja or darshan.
