A photograph inside a small room with pale green walls and a ceiling fan, showing a bald man in white dhoti and shirt with a red-and-white floral garland, holding a tray of fruit and flowers. A young boy in a checked shirt stands before a woman in a patterned sari who is kneeling and receiving the offering. Behind them, a young man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a bearded man in an orange shawl stand, and a woman in a green headscarf and other onlookers gather. On the right, a woman in a red-and-orange sari wearing a rudraksha mala and gold bangles holds out a fruit, while a young attendant in orange holds a staff. Several people are visible; the sacred offering appears to be a pada puja style house visit.

A photo taken inside a home room with pale walls, a tiled floor, a red patterned rug, and a window with light-coloured blinds and rainbow ribbons. A bare-chested man with long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ornate gold armlets sits on a cushioned seat at right, holding out an apple to a young boy in a light blue shirt kneeling in front of him. A group of women in saffron and yellow saris, one in red, press their palms together nearby, while a shaved-headed man in white dhoti and shawl stands behind holding a ritual object. A young man in orange clothing holds a camera at the back, and another orange-robed person kneels on the rug. A poster of a deity hangs on the left wall. The ritual appears to be a house-visit pada puja with apple offerings.2014-07-08July 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesIndoor photo of a home visit in a small room with cream walls and an arched doorway.
