A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne before a navy blue curtain. The figure wears an orange saffron wrap, a long-haired appearance with a red tilak, and a gold-beaded necklace; this appearance is consistent with the Swamiji (probable) candidate for the page's Pada Puja event. Before the throne stands a small table with fruit, flowers and a brass dish. Around the foreground, several devotees sit on the floor: a man in a white shirt with a mala holds his hands together, a woman in a white sari sits at left, a bald man in a red shawl with hands joined, and women in yellow, teal and blue clothing. Trays of fruit, apples, and pujas plates sit in front of them. A projector rests on the right side of the stage.
