A seated man on a gilded throne with red cushions wears saffron-orange robes, a multi-strand rudraksha mala, and white markings on his arms, with a red bindi on his forehead and long hair. Before the throne, a devotee in orange robes and a shaved head sits cross-legged on striped mats, holding a lit lamp (arati) toward him, with a silver plate of offerings and a pink-and-white flower at the throne's base. Behind the throne, a painted deity murti appears in an arched niche, with cream columns wrapped in green leaves and orange-red berries. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure; he is shown with distinctive saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and a crown-like throne setting, while the lamp-bearing devotee is a priest.2012-06-03 +1 copiesA photograph of a padapuja in a decorated room with a blue door and cream columns draped with artificial leaves and berries. A man with long swept-back dark hair, orange-saffron robes and a long gold-and-rudraksha mala seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne has his bare feet placed on a gold tray garlanded with white flowers, where a white lotus-like flower lies.
