A home padapuja ritual in a domestic room with terrazzo floor. A seated person in an orange sannyasi-style robe with long dark hair sits in a white-covered chair with hands pressed together in namaskar. Before them a devotee in an orange robe kneels and performs foot worship, with a silver bowl and rose petals nearby. Around them, a man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala and a woman in white sari kneel with hands folded, and standing women in sarees observe. A silver vessel and a small lamp sit on the floor, with a white chair and a bag in the background. The sitter wears an orange robe with a brown beaded sash over the shoulder.

A padapuja ritual in a home interior with white walls and a pink wall.

A woman in a white sari with gold border and flowers in her hair kneels with folded hands, beside a lit oil lamp, brass items and flowers on the tray.

A home padapuja in a domestic room with a white-cushioned seat and wicker chairs. A person in an orange robe with long dark hair sits on the cushioned seat with palms pressed together in prayer, while a second person in an orange shawl sits on the floor. A man in white sits at the lower edge bowing toward a brass plate of offerings at the seated figure's feet. A woman in white sits to the left with a garland, and a woman in a white sari with red border stands at the top left. A glass cabinet with figurines is behind them. The seated figure in orange with long swept-back hair and beaded necklace is a person match based on the presentation cues, but appearance is not conclusive, so this is marked unsure.

Padapuja ritual in a hall. A man in saffron-orange robes with a white-and-red flower garland sits on a white-covered seat with palms pressed together in greeting, his bare feet resting on a silver tray. A seated woman in a blue sari with gold bangles and a bindi kneels before the tray, hands folded, while a woman in a white sari with a yellow border and a man in white sit nearby, one man holding a silver plate of lamps and offerings. Behind them are a table draped in orange cloth with flowers, a tray of apples and red flowers, and red curtains. The man in saffron has a shaved-looking dark crown with a tilak and his appearance matches the page's Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, ornate garland and saffron clothing, so he is a probable Swamiji seated in person.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair, a gold necklace and rudraksha-style beads holds a small bowl in a wood-panelled room. A man in white kneels and bows his head to the floor at his bare feet, a red cloth spread beneath with flower petals scattered. Several women in saris (yellow, green, orange) watch closely from behind. Other saffron-clad attendants sit at the lower left. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the seated figure in orange with long hair and gold necklace, receiving the devotee's obeisance.
