A ceremonial padapuja scene on a red-carpeted stage before a floral-decorated backdrop with gold-framed seating. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne-like seat garlanded with red and white flowers. Several people in white dhotis and white saris kneel and bend before him, one washing or honouring his feet, while others in white stand around. A woman in a white sari with gold border stands at left and a girl in white with red-orange shawl stands nearby. Garlands of yellow, orange and red flowers hang along the top of the backdrop. The seated figure's appearance is not confidently established from the image, so he is described by role only.

Several women in saris and a salwar stand to the right, and a red carpet covers the floor. Appearance-based cues are consistent with a person seated on the throne in saffron robes and garland, though the face and details are not clear enough for certainty.2009-01-28A photograph of a floral-decorated stage in a hall, with a gilded arch of white, yellow, orange and red flowers over an ornate white-and-gold panelled backdrop. A long-haired man in white robes and a saffron/orange shawl stands on an orange-cushioned seat as several devotees in white shirts, white dhotis and sarees gather around him, one man with folded hands. A woman in a white saree with a red bindi stands at right, and a seated woman in a white saree with an orange shawl attends at the foot of the seat, with a white cloth spread on the floor.

The long hair, white robes and saffron shawl are the cues.2006-12-17January 28 20092009-01-28November 12 20102010-11-12
