A photograph of a street-side pada puja during a house visit. A man in a red-orange turban and orange cloth is being garlanded with a long white and multicoloured flower garland by a man in white shirt and dhoti who lifts the garland over the turban. Other devotees in orange and saffron clothing stand around, some with rudraksha malas and tilak marks, while a crowd of onlookers presses close beneath a tiled roof. Smoke drifts in the background.

Outdoor street scene of a crowd pressing around a central figure in a red-orange turban and a long white flower garland with multicoloured blossoms. The turbaned figure smiles and holds up hands that others reach toward. Around them, several people wear saffron-orange clothes and rudraksha malas, including a shaved-headed young man with white tilak marks on his forehead. A man in white with an orange shawl leans in from the right, and a grey-haired person in teal sleeves is in the foreground. A parked grey car and a tiled roof with a smoking fire at the back are visible. Several spectators watch from behind the crowd.

A crowded outdoor scene near a tiled-roof building. At centre, a figure in an orange-red turban and saffron-orange robe with a long white and multicoloured floral garland stands with head bowed while a man in a white shirt and orange shawl places a hand on the garland. Around them, many devotees press close, some in orange robes with white forehead markings, others in everyday shirts. Smoke rises in the background and a tiled roof overhangs the crowd. The central figure's appearance is uncertain, so the role is described as a sannyasi in saffron robes.

Outdoor street scene of a sannyasi in a maroon and gold-bordered dhoti and wrap, wearing a large white and red flower garland and rudraksha malas, greeting a woman in white who has her palms pressed together. Around him stand saffron-clad young male attendants with tonsured heads, one with a tilak, plus white-clad men and women looking on. A dark SUV and leafy trees are behind them. The sannyasi's distinctive long swept hair and ornate garland match the page's reference to a person, so this is a person presence, shown in person greeting devotees.
