A photograph of a padapuja-style ritual in an ornate hall. A woman in orange robes and a rudraksha-beaded garland sits on a gilded brown throne, her hand pressed to the forehead of a man in a white garment with a yellow head covering and a beaded necklace. Behind them a bald priest with white forehead markings wears an orange robe and gold pendant necklace. A pink and white flower garland drapes the seated woman. Green foliage decorates the wall, a projector screen shows a crowd, and a few devotees sit at the lower edge of the frame. The seated figure is not identifiable as a person candidate from the visible cues.2012-12-20December 20 20122012-12-20A seated figure in an orange-brown robe with a pink and white flower garland and red bead garland sits on a brown throne with gold trim and a leopard-print cushion, pointing a finger toward a standing man.

On the right, a man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a silver-toned necklace rests both palms on the head of a kneeling elderly man in a white shirt and glasses, who bows with a white and red flower garland around his neck. Behind them, a woman in a pink sari and standing attendants in orange robes watch, and a cardboard box of red fruit sits nearby beside yellow lilies.
