A photograph of a seated man in a sleeveless saffron-orange robe with long dark hair tied back, seated on a gold-and-red throne with ornate gold carved armrests. He smiles and extends his right hand toward a standing man in a white collared shirt with a rudraksha mala who holds a flat dark object and a small paper or board. Between them stands a woman in a white sari with red border and a dark beaded necklace, holding a thin white item. A small digital clock and gold lion-shaped figurines sit on a wooden side table; red and gold draped backdrop behind. A caption-style overlay names the event as Pada Puja on an album page.
