Photograph of a domestic house visit with devotees gathered in a small room with cream walls. A bare-chested figure seated at right wears an orange-red cloth, a long dark rudraksha mala and bangled armband, with long swept-back hair and gold earring; he holds a small purple-lined box containing a ring-like ornament. A young attendant in orange cloth and rudraksha beads stands beside a gold-coloured box, and a monk in white with a short-shaved head is at the top. Several women in saris and a man in white dhoti with a flower garland sit or stand nearby. A man in orange cloth at back holds a camera. The setting suggests a devotee household visit, possibly a padapuja, with the seated figure as the honoured guest.
