Indoor photo in a plain pink-walled room with a barred window. A seated person in an orange garment and white cloth, wearing a long garland of white flowers and green fruit, has long dark hair pulled back. In front of them a man in white shirt and dhoti stands extending his hands over a brass tray of fruit and flowers, with a small brass lamp and vessels on the floor. Around the room, women in saris, several in orange and red, sit or stand watching, and a man in a checked shirt sits at lower left. Puja-style offering scene; a seated figure in orange with fruit garlands is visible but no clear identity cue beyond garments and garland.

A man in white clothes holds a lit camphor flame toward a seated figure wearing an orange robe and a white-and-green flower garland, hands pressed together in prayer with eyes closed. A woman in a white sari with a gold border kneels beside him and holds a small brass vessel. Fruit trays, banana leaves, and brass bowls are arranged on a striped mat in front. Around the room, about twenty devotees stand and sit with hands folded in namaskar. The flame and offerings suggest an aarti and padapuja. The seated orange-clad figure may be a person, shown by long swept-back hair, an orange robe, and a garland, but the face is not clearly visible enough to confirm.2009-08-08August 08 20092009-08-08August 08 20092009-08-08A seated man in an orange robe with a long garland of white flowers and green citrus fruits sits on a white-draped bed or couch in a room with pink walls and tiled floor.
