A photograph of a ceremonial padapuja at a Guru Poornima event. A seated figure with long swept-back hair wears saffron-orange robes and rests bare feet on a silver pedestal; he sits on an ornate throne heavily garlanded with white jasmine and orange-red flowers, with gold lion-shaped armrests. A man in white kurta and dhoti bends forward to offer reverence at the feet, while other men stand nearby: one in white with a rudraksha-style pendant, others in white with saffron shawls. Red petals scatter on the floor and a blue curtain hangs behind. The seated figure's long hair, saffron robes and throne present as a person cue, but the appearance is uncertain.
