A photograph of a home interior during a pada puja house visit. A seated man in orange and gold garments with a flower garland and gold armlets sits on an orange cushion at right, his bare feet offered toward a tray of fruit and flowers on a white cloth. A shirtless man in a white dhoti performs a ritual with a lit oil lamp held near the seated man's feet. Two young attendants in orange and white stand behind, one holding a tall silver trident-like staff. A woman in a red blouse sits with palms joined at lower left, and another woman in pink sits near the staircase. Marble stairs with a wooden railing are at left, and white walls surround the room. The seated man's identity is not established from appearance; he is described by his role as the honoured guest receiving pada puja.
