Indoor house-visit ritual during a padapuja. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with white jasmine garlands, rudraksha beads and a gold armband holds a silver staff with a green-leaf garland and gazes down. A man in white kurta offers an oil lamp flame to him while a woman in olive top and white sari sits beside, and two young men in saffron cloth and white dhotis kneel near a brass plate of flowers. Devotees in red and white stand in the background. Marigold petals cover the floor and a framed picture hangs on the wall.
