A photograph inside a home room decorated with red and orange flower garlands on the wall frame and a glass display cabinet holding small deity figurines and brass items. A seated man in a red-maroon robe and pink-orange shawl, wearing a red and yellow flower garland and gold bangles, holds a tall silver trident in his right hand while smiling and seated on a cushion. Around him, three people in orange and saffron clothing sit on the floor performing a pada puja, one pouring water or milk from a small cup, another with long dark hair attending, with a brass bowl of yellow flowers and a plate of offerings nearby. A young child in white stands at right, and a small vase of red and orange flowers sits on a side table. Robed devotees attend this house-visit ritual.

Beside him, shaved-headed boys in orange robes sit on the floor, and a kneeling man in a grey jacket washes or anoints a brass plate at the seated man's feet, with a garland on the floor. Behind them stands a wooden shrine with framed deity pictures, oil lamps and floral decorations. The scene reads as a ritual foot-worship or padapuja in a small room. The seated man is a probable Swamiji by appearance: long swept-back hair, saffron shawl, rudraksha mala, ceremonial garland and a trident.2014-07-10July 08 20142014-07-08June 27 20142014-06-27A photograph of a small room with pink walls and green shelving holding framed family photos, a small deity figure and a stereo.

Several people in orange and saffron robes with white forehead markings sit around him, and a young girl in a dark top and a seated devotee in a brown garment bend forward at his feet, touching them.
