A house visit during a padapuja in a bright white room with a framed deity print hanging on the wall and a garland draped across its top. A seated figure in saffron-red robes, rudraksha beads, gold armlets and jasmine garlands receives offerings while holding a hand out toward a wooden tray of fruit. The seated figure has long swept-back hair, a crown-like style is not clearly visible, and the appearance is a person, but the identity is uncertain from appearance alone. Nearby, a woman in a purple sari leans forward over a brass plate, a young saffron-clad attendant kneels beside the tray, and a man in an orange kurta stands at the front holding offerings. Several devotees in white and floral clothing stand behind, and a small flower-decorated computer monitor sits on the right.
