A padapuja ceremony in a room with a red draped backdrop. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron shawl over an orange garment and multiple rudraksha malas, sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with his bare feet resting on a gold footstool. Several devotees kneel on a red patterned carpet before him with palms pressed together in prayer; one older man in orange shawl holds flower petals, a woman in orange holds a plate, and younger men in white kurtas with orange shawls kneel nearby. Gold trays of flowers and fruit sit on a round gold table in front. A pedestal fan and a speaker stand in the background. The figure on the throne appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on his long hair, orange clothing and rudraksha malas.
