A kneeling man in a white checked shirt and white dhoti, with a rudraksha mala, has his forehead touched by a long-haired figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala, seated on a white cloth beside a small red-bordered rug and a white towel with flower petals. Around them, men in white shirts and white dhotis, several wearing rudraksha malas, stand and watch, one with hands raised in prayer. A man in an orange cloth stands at the right edge, and an older man in white with an orange-and-white cord stands at the left. Garlands hang in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated orange-robed figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, consistent with the page, so this is an appearance-based candidate.2006-07-12A photograph of a pada puja in an ashram courtyard with an orange-draped floor mat.
