A photograph of a padapuja in a small room with pale blue walls. A seated figure in orange-red robes, with long dark hair, rudraksha malas and gold armbands, sits on a red cushioned seat receiving devotees. Devotees in white dhotis and shirts kneel and bow with folded hands, while a woman in a white sari with a purple blouse stands among onlookers. Two shaved-headed attendants in saffron cloth stand at right, one holding a ceremonial staff. Bananas and fruit are offered on a tray. A framed certificate hangs on the wall and a colourful deity poster is at left. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the face is not clearly identifiable, so the identity is uncertain.
