A photograph of a padapuja-style honouring in a decorated hall. A seated figure in orange-red robes and a red turban, with a long multi-coloured garland of flowers draped over the shoulders, is smiling and holding a small offering. Before them, a man in white shirt and white trousers bends low, touching the bare feet of the seated figure, who rests on a white throne-like seat. Petals are scattered on the white floor. Behind, men in white kurtas wear orange shawls, and a woman in an orange-bordered white sari sits at the lower left. An orange and gold backdrop with a painted figure forms the setting.
