A photograph of a pada-puja at a temple shrine. A woman in a purple sari with a red border bows and touches her forehead to the feet of two gold-coloured murti figures seated beneath a gilded arch. The left figure wears a red and gold turban and a tall crown, the right wears a green and gold crown with a purple sari and rich jewellery. Both are draped in orange and garlanded with marigolds and multicoloured flower strings. Two men in orange and white dhotis hold a brass plate and a cloth at the lower left, while a shaved-headed priest in white stands at the far left edge. A tall decorated kalasha stands before the figures. Orange drapery hangs behind the shrine.
