A photograph of a padapuja at a devotee's house. A figure seated on an ornate chair at right wears saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha mala, a long garland of white and red flowers and gold armbands, and holds a tall silver trident-like staff. Before him, a seated man in white dhoti and shawl offers a lit flame, while a young man in white beside him holds a steel plate of flowers. Women in saffron and printed clothing kneel close by with hands joined, and a woman at lower left wears a white flower in her hair and a rudraksha necklace. Standing devotees in orange, white and striped shirts watch from the doorway. Flower petals and a floral tray lie on the red carpet, with framed deity images and garlands on the walls.
