A photograph of a padapuja ritual at an open-air courtyard. A man in a saffron/orange robe with long, swept-back dark hair sits on a white-draped seat with a leopard-print cushion, holding a golden trident (trishul) upright. A woman in a white and red sari kneels and bows before him, washing or honouring his feet beside a brass lamp and a steel tray. Behind them, a man in white dhoti and another in saffron stand near a microphone stand and speakers. A large white cow figure with red and green embroidered cloth stands on a blue wooden cart at right. Potted plants, a stack of stones and a pink building are visible in the background.
