Devotees sit on the floor of a yellow-walled room facing a brown upholstered armchair with carved dark wooden trim and cushions. A seated figure in a maroon-and-gold dress wears a long multicolour flower garland, a gold necklace and bangles, with hands resting on the armrests. Around them, devotees in white dhotis, saffron and orange robes, and rudraksha malas sit with palms joined in namaskar; one woman in red holds her hands folded. A small brass plate of offerings sits on the floor. A red curtain hangs at left and an electric fan stands at right. Some devotees are shaved-headed priests in saffron. The scene reads as a darshan or padapuja at an ashram room, and the seated figure's appearance is consistent with a probable Swamiji candidate.

Seated devotees in white dhotis, saffron and white clothes, one with shaved head and rudraksha malas, press palms together in namaskar, with a child and other onlookers behind. The setting suggests a padapuja with darshan during a ritual at an ashram.2014-06-28 +1 copiesJune 28 20142014-06-28 +1 copiesJune 28 20142014-06-28June 28 20142014-06-28 +1 copiesIndoor padapuja scene in a plain yellow-walled room with orange curtains.
