A photograph of an outdoor moment at a pada puja. A man with long, swept-back black hair wearing an orange saffron shawl smiles and rests his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a red-and-white checked shirt, who bows forward with his face down. Behind them stands a person in white clothing, and a pale wall edge is visible at the left. Swamiji is probable: the figure has long swept-back hair and saffron ceremonial clothing, and the page indicates he attended this event, though appearance alone is not fully conclusive.
