A photograph of a domestic house visit in a living room with a brown patterned sofa behind. In the foreground a seated man in a gold-bordered orange and gold shawl wears a long multicolour garland of yellow and purple flowers and sits with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes lowered. Beside him, several devotees kneel on an orange mat: a woman in a pink and red saree and a woman in a cream saree with a red border bend forward with their hands at a brass plate, while a man in a striped shirt and glasses kneels and a boy in a red shirt watches on the right. Another man in a striped shirt stands behind. The scene appears to show a padapuja-style foot-washing offering to the seated guest.

A photograph of a home visit in a living room with a floral-patterned sofa and flower arrangements. A seated man in orange robes and a gold-bordered shawl, wearing a long purple and yellow garland, sits with his hands pressed together in prayer and bare feet resting on a brass plate. Four devotees kneel around him in a padapuja: a man in a striped shirt and glasses bows over the plate, a woman in a red and pink sari with a red tilak applies water or offering to his feet, a man in a striped shirt and red-framed glasses kneels beside her, and a person in a red shirt leans in at the front. A tray of apples sits nearby.2010-02-17July 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07 +2 copiesA seated figure on a white-covered bench wears an orange saffron garment, a gold-bordered brown shawl and layered garlands of purple and yellow flowers, holding a small silver cup to their face. An older man in white shirt and white dhoti kneels on an orange mat, washing or anointing the seated person's bare feet from a silver plate, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a wristwatch visible. A woman in a cream and red sari with a red bindi stands at right, hands together in reverence. Behind them are a floral arrangement with orange flowers, a fruit bowl of apples on a side table, and a brown sofa with cushions in a plain room. This appears to be a padapuja, a ritual washing of the feet.2010-02-17July 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesA seated figure in an orange-and-maroon robe with white jasmine garlands and rudraksha mala beads on a bright orange cushioned seat has one foot being washed by a woman in an orange sari and a man in white shirt and trousers kneeling beside a brass plate of water and oil lamps. A younger person in orange clothing with a garland holds a silver staff nearby, and a boy stands behind a sofa in a living room with framed religious pictures on the wall. The scene shows a padapuja foot-worship ritual in a devotee's home. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ornamental bangles, which is consistent with the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues, presented as the honoured guest of the padapuja.2014-07-07 +2 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copies
