A photograph of a pada puja in a room with pillars and white curtains. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe sits with palms pressed together on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a dark cushion. Before him, on a low table, are trays of fruit, small plates of offerings and a box with flowers. Devotees kneel on the floor with hands folded in namaskar: a man in white shirt and mala, women in saris and bangles, and a young boy in white. A woman in white with an orange scarf stands in the background near a wall fan. The scene reads as devotional worship and devotee reverence.
