Men in white kurtas and dhotis kneel and bend low to perform padapuja, one man in a white shawl touching her feet while another attendant in white stands nearby. A man in a white dhoti with orange-striped border stands at right. Orange marigold flowers decorate the seat and a green leafy garland hangs above. A carpeted hall with lattice windows, a blue sign and a fan frame the scene, reflecting a ritual foot-washing honour at Bidadi adheenam.2009-07-05December 25 20052005-12-25December 25 20052005-12-25July 05 20092009-07-05A photograph of a long-haired man seated on a large white upholstered throne-like chair with a rounded backrest, a white bolster and a small orange-and-white cushion on the armrest.

Behind him is a brown lattice screen decorated with hanging orange marigold strands, and vases of orange and red flowers sit on side tables beside a silver bowl and a small brass pot. Only the person seated is visible, and a partial figure appears at the far left edge. Whether this is a specific individual cannot be determined from the image.2009-07-05A photograph of a person seated on a large white cushioned chair in an indoor room with a lattice screen and marigold garlands strung across it.

A woman in a white sari with a red shawl and rudraksha-style beads stands at right, and rose petals cover the floor. A framed picture hangs on the wall. The seated figure appears in saffron and garlands, but the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity.2009-07-27A seated long-haired figure in a turquoise silk sari with gold zari border and a white jasmine garland receives padapuja, with feet resting on rose petals and small gold-toned stands. A woman in white dress kneels at the feet, bowing with hands near the floor. Behind them, a woman in a red sari with gold border and gold necklace stands watching, and an orange-robed person and a vase of orange and yellow flowers are visible. Gold beaded necklaces adorn the seated figure, who wears a small red tilak. The seated figure's identity is not established by the scene itself, so no a person candidate is asserted; the figure is described by role and attire only.2009-07-05
