A photograph of a padapuja ritual in a decorated hall. A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and smiles as he extends his bare feet. A man in a pale peach shirt and cream trousers, wearing glasses, bends forward to wash the feet with water poured from a small vessel. Another man in saffron robes stands behind on the left with his hands folded at his chest. Brass and silver ritual vessels and small lamps sit on a tray below, with a red and gold backdrop behind them.

A kneeling man in a white shirt and grey trousers, wearing a red thread and a bracelet, offers a folded paper or envelope with both hands.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a red upholstered back, wearing long swept-back dark hair, a large white and multicolour flower garland and a green-and-white-beaded garland. He is bare-chested beneath the orange cloth, gesturing with a raised palm while smiling. Before him, a man in white kurta and dhoti kneels with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them, several men in white with orange shawls stand near a draped red and gold backdrop, and scattered flower petals cover the floor. The distinctive saffron robe, long hair and adornments match the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues, and the throne and kneeling devotee suggest a darshan setting.

A photograph of a padapuja ritual on a golden throne. A man with grey hair and glasses, wearing a white kurta, kneels and holds a brass or copper vessel while washing the bare feet of a seated figure. The seated figure wears an orange-saffron robe, has long swept-back dark hair, and sits on a red cushion on an ornate gold throne with carved gold panels and a gilded backrest. Behind the throne hangs a painted backdrop of a temple gopuram. Two standing attendants in orange robes stand to the left, and a person in a yellow garment is partly visible behind the throne. Flower petals lie on the floor. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, a throne-seated honoured presence, and the page identifies the event as Swamiji's.
