A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a white and orange-red garland sits with palms pressed together on a gilded throne with red cushioning and a golden canopy, before yellow drapes in an open pavilion. In front, a white cloth covers the floor and is laid with brass plates and bowls of fruit, nuts, sweets, flowers and a tray of apples and bananas. Around the cloth, about a dozen devotees sit in prayer: women in white and yellow saris and orange robes, and men in white dhotis and grey shirts, all with hands folded. The scene reads as a padapuja offering before a teacher, with a kalasha-style brass lamp hanging above.

A bindi-like red mark is visible on the forehead. Around the throne, devotees sit on the floor: one woman with a long braid in white with an orange shawl, a man in orange robes, and several people in white and yellow-trimmed clothing with folded hands. Brass bowls and offering vessels are placed on the floor before the throne, and yellow drapes hang behind. The setting is a covered open-sided hall with an orange ceiling. Two people in white sit in the foreground at the left and right edges. This appears to be a satsang or darshan gathering. The throne-seated figure has long hair and orange clothing with a bindi, but the image does not clearly establish identity, so the seated figure is recorded only as an unsure candidate.2009-08-18August 08 20092009-08-08A photograph of a padapuja ceremony in a bright hall with yellow curtains and gold-framed throne-style decor.
