A photograph inside a home room during a padapuja. A bare-chested man with long dark hair, wearing a deep red-maroon dhoti and a large red-and-white marigold garland, sits on an orange cushion holding a silver trident-topped staff, while a woman in a red sari washes his feet from a brass plate with orange cloth spread on the floor. Around them sit devotees: shaved-headed sannyasis in saffron/orange robes with rudraksha malas, women in saris, and an older man in white kurta and a bearded man in white dhoti with bead necklace. A framed portrait with garland hangs on the wall beside a small shrine altar with hanging bells, and a photographer with a camera stands at the right edge.
