A photo taken inside a home room with pale walls, a tiled floor, a red patterned rug, and a window with light-coloured blinds and rainbow ribbons. A bare-chested man with long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ornate gold armlets sits on a cushioned seat at right, holding out an apple to a young boy in a light blue shirt kneeling in front of him. A group of women in saffron and yellow saris, one in red, press their palms together nearby, while a shaved-headed man in white dhoti and shawl stands behind holding a ritual object. A young man in orange clothing holds a camera at the back, and another orange-robed person kneels on the rug. A poster of a deity hangs on the left wall. The ritual appears to be a house-visit pada puja with apple offerings.
