A seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne holds a small silver-rimmed item while sorting pieces of food on leaves in a metal tray. He wears white vibhuti on his forehead, a gold beaded necklace, and an orange-and-saffron garment, with bare feet and a bracelet. Around him, several women in white saris with saffron shawls and white hairnets prepare leaf plates at a table with silver bowls, a large banana leaf, a tray of rice and a red-covered table. A man in white with an orange shawl sits in the foreground at right, handing over a leaf. The setting looks like a ritual food offering or prasad preparation inside a hall with books and red tablecloths. A caption-style credit at the lower right reads 'Source: N'. a person is shown on the throne as a probable candidate, marked by the saffron-and-gold garment, gold necklace and throne seat.

He sits cross-legged with his hands extended, receiving or offering something from a white-clad woman kneeling at right in a white sari with a red shawl. A man in white dhoti with a red sash bends over a low table at center, while another man in white with a red-and-gold shawl stands behind. Trays hold green leaves, steel bowls and small offerings, and a brass plate of green leaves sits at lower left beside a small brass vessel. Two women in white saris stand in the background near a red sofa and a blue curtain. The scene suggests a ritual or puja setting.2015-12-20December 20 20152015-12-20A photo of a kitchen-like hall where a man in a saffron-orange dhoti and wrap, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a red thread on his wrist, sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, smiling as he reaches toward a woman in a white sari with gold border who is holding a leaf with food. Behind them, several men in white dhotis with gold borders and red sashes stand near large steel pots and trays. A tray of green leaves and small brass bowls sits in front. Steel vessels line a white-clothed table; a red sofa and blue curtain are visible in the background.2015-12-20 +1 copiesAnnadhan in 20152015-01-01 +2 copiesA photograph of a padapuja ceremony in progress. A long-haired man seated on an orange cushion wears an orange-and-gold robe, a garland of white and red flowers, multiple rudraksha beads, and gold bangles; he holds a silver staff raised overhead and a green leaf bundle in his right hand. Nearby, a man in a white shirt kneels and washes the feet of a woman in a pink patterned sari who holds a small child, while another young girl watches. Behind them, saffron-robed young men in orange and white garments stand and sit, and a crowd of men in white shirts and dhotis stands with hands folded in namaskar. Brass vessels and a plate with offerings sit on the floor. The appearance-based label applies only if the qualifying cues are clear: the seated man shows long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and rudraksha beads, so he is a person candidate in the central ceremonial role.2014-06-21 +1 copiesDecember 20 20152015-12-20A photograph of a ritual food offering in a hall with a red sofa and blue drape.
