A photograph of a ceremonial pada puja scene under a flower-decorated canopy with purple lighting. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes, a large gold crown and a long white-and-pink flower garland sits on a tiger-print seat beneath yellow and red floral arches. A man in a white kurta bows low toward him with hands joined, while a shaved-headed attendant in orange cloth sits at the left and another woman in white stands at the right edge. Garlands of yellow and red flowers hang along the pillars and ceiling. The seated figure matches the appearance cues of the page's Swamiji, though this is a probable identification from the flowing clothing, crown and garland rather than a confirmed one.
