A photograph of a padapuja on a stage lit by string lights and draped with colourful embroidered hangings. A seated man in an orange-red dhoti and shawl, with a red turban, rudraksha malas and a gold pendant, sits on an ornate silver throne covered with leopard-print cushions, gesturing with one hand toward a kneeling woman in a rust-red sari with a gold headpiece and long braid. She bends low before his bare feet, holding a brass plate of flowers and leaves, beside a silver stand holding a small lamp. A microphone stands in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a red turban, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold ornaments, matching the page's claim.
