A tripod and blurred figure in orange stand in the background of a studio-like setting with a patterned floor mat. The devotee has hair tied in a bun and is not visibly showing identifying cues of the page's named figure, so a person is unsure at most; no clear candidate is shown with qualifying cues.2019-01-05A padapuja-style ritual in a decorated room. An elderly woman with white hair, wearing a white sari with gold border, kneels and pours liquid from a small vessel over the feet of a seated figure dressed in saffron-orange cloth, while she holds a brass plate with fruit and offerings. Garlands of white flowers and red blooms lie beside the feet. Behind her, a young man in a white dhoti with gold border sits with a rudraksha mala, and several young men in orange robes with rudraksha malas sit watching. A shaved-headed man in orange and a woman in a purple sari sit at the left edge, with pink and orange flower petals on the floor.2014-07-04 +1 copiesJune 20 20142014-06-20A woman in an orange sari with rudraksha malas and a vertical tilak on her forehead sits on the floor beside a silver pedestal holding a brass tray of yellow and purple flowers. A grey-haired woman in a white sari bends forward and bows her head toward the tray in an act of devotion.

Two people are the central visible figures, with a few others partly visible in the background.2019-01-05A woman in a white dhoti-style sari with a tan blouse and a rudraksha mala bows forward, head lowered, over a brass tray of marigolds and chrysanthemums in yellow, white and purple. Two brass kalasha-style vessels sit among the flowers on a red cloth. In the background, a crowd of seated devotees and standing figures in white ritual clothes face a bright hall with cream walls. A woman in an orange sari stands at the right edge with her hands folded in prayer. The scene suggests puja offering in a temple-style hall.2019-01-05A photograph of a padapuja ritual on a red mat.
