Photograph of a padapuja-style honouring at an outdoor temple shrine. Two seated figures sit on orange-cushioned thrones under a canopy of orange curtains with red pillars. The seated man on the left wears orange robes and a bare-headed shaved look, and a white-clad attendant kneels at his feet washing or honouring them. A second seated figure in orange robes sits beside him with a shaved head and an orange shawl. Standing attendants in orange robes and a man in a grey shirt assist nearby, a woman in a white and yellow sari stands at the right edge, and a white-clad priest with an orange shawl stands at the right. Behind them a grey stone shrine holds a golden-framed deity murti draped in red, with marigold garlands and brass lamps. A blue-and-purple mat runs along the floor.

In front, a man in orange robes with long hair sits on an orange-cushioned seat, while a second seated person in orange robes sits beside him. A man in a white dhoti kneels on the orange-and-purple mat before them, and several attendants in white dhotis, white shirts, saffron scarves and white saris stand around the platform.
