A photograph of a padapuja in a temple-style hall with orange-painted walls. A seated man in a saffron-orange robe, with a red-and-cream turban, a long red-and-purple flower garland, a rudraksha mala and a gold-toned necklace, sits on a brown leather chair before a red throne-like backdrop. A woman in a green silk sari with a bent-over posture touches his bare feet in devotion while a man in a white dhoti and white shirt stands beside them holding red apples. Another attendant in white holds a tray of sliced fruit, and women in colourful silk saris stand behind, one with a bangle set and one wearing a purple sari with gold border. The seated man matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of a saffron robe, turban, garland and rudraksha, with the padapuja role conveyed by the devotee washing and honouring his feet. A small girl in a white top stands at the left edge.
