A home visit during a padapuja at a devotee's house. A seated figure with long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala, a white and floral garland, gold armbands and a red-and-orange shawl holds up a silver staff, appearing to be the honoured guest; the appearance cues are several but he is seated on a cushioned sofa, so the candidate is uncertain. Around him, young men in saffron robes and rudraksha malas sit on a striped mat, one in white with a mala, while a woman in a pink top and a woman in a sari fold their hands in devotion, and a man in a green kurta with a garland stands in the background. A brass oil lamp burns on the floor beside a tray with flower garlands, and an orange garland hangs on the wall.

A seated figure in a dark red-brown robe with an orange-and-gold border, wearing a white and red flower garland, rudraksha mala, gold bangles and armlets, raises a tall silver staff toward the ceiling and smiles. Around them, a young man in orange robes and rudraksha malas, another in white with a mala, and a standing attendant in orange hold ritual items. A woman in white with a red-brown shawl sits with hands folded in prayer, while a woman in red reaches toward a brass bell and a flaming oil lamp on a tray of flowers. A framed painting hangs on the wall and a lamp glows overhead.2014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 08 20142014-07-08July 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 01 20142014-07-01June 22 20142014-06-22 +1 copiesJuly 10 20142014-07-10
