A photograph of a padapuja in a room with orange cushions and a warm wood-panelled wall. A long-haired man seated on an orange-draped seat, in a rust-brown robe with gold border, wears white flower garlands and gold necklaces and bangles, and holds a green leafy sprig in one hand while raising the other on a metal rod. Seated before him, a man in a white shirt and dark trousers with a red-brown rudraksha mala pours or lights an oil lamp near bare feet, surrounded by flower petals. Women in white and red sarees with folded hands sit nearby, a small boy in green stands behind them, and a bald man in orange sits at the back. A water bottle sits at the lower right corner.

A seated figure on an orange-draped bed or peetha holds a silver trident and wears a white and red flower garland, a rudraksha-style mala, gold necklaces and gold armbands; the robe is saffron with gold borders. Devotees sit before him in white and red sarees, white shirts and a green shirt on a small boy; a seated man holds a lit oil lamp, and fresh flowers and petals lie on the floor. Standing devotees behind them press palms together in namaste, and a cameraman is visible at the top right. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and saffron clothing, with the figure receiving the lamp and puja.2014-06-21 +1 copiesJune 21 20142014-06-21 +1 copiesA seated figure in an orange-and-maroon robe with gold border, wearing a long white and red flower garland, ornate gold bangles and a rudraksha-style necklace, raises a silver staff or ceremonial rod while on an orange cushioned bed. Seated before him, a man in a white shirt and dark trousers pours liquid from a small brass cup over a tray, as a woman in red and white with a child and others in white ceremonial dress, one with hands folded in namaskar, look on. Standing figures in white and yellow attend in the background, and a bald man in orange sits behind. The scene resembles a padapuja or abhishekam-style ritual with a devotee family.2014-06-21 +1 copiesJune 20 20142014-06-20June 21 20142014-06-21 +1 copiesJune 21 20142014-06-21 +1 copiesJune 21 20142014-06-21 +1 copiesJune 21 20142014-06-21 +1 copiesJune 21 20142014-06-21 +1 copiesJune 21 20142014-06-21 +1 copiesJune 21 20142014-06-21 +1 copies
