A home interior where a figure with a bun, orange-red garment and red-and-yellow flower garland sits at left with palms pressed together and head bowed. Beside a glass display cabinet holding figurines and framed photos, a man in white kneels and holds a lit oil lamp flame, while a woman in a magenta and gold sari with red bangles and a man in a striped shirt, hands folded, sit or kneel on the floor. Several standing men in white shirts and a red shirt watch with palms joined near a sofa and television. A red cloth with flowers and fruit lies in front. The scene reads as a family puja and honouring visit at home.
