A padapuja ritual in a small room with cream walls and a window. A seated figure in a rust-red turban and red-orange robe, wearing white and orange flower garlands and orange beaded bangles, holds a long silver staff upright and raises a hand. Before him a woman in white sari with an orange border sits with palms joined in prayer, flanked by offerings of fruit, a coconut, red flower petals and a brass plate. Around them saffron-robed young boys with shaved heads and rudraksha malas sit on the floor, and white-clad devotees, including older women and a man in white shirt holding a small brass vessel, watch or join in.
