A photograph of a padapuja at a devotee's home. A seated man in a deep red-orange robe, wearing a red turban, large white and red flower garlands, bangles and a rudraksha mala, has his feet washed and decorated with flower petals by a kneeling woman in a white sari. Another man in white kneels beside her holding a brass vessel, while a standing man in white and orange holds a silver trident. Several women in saris, a young girl in blue and children watch with hands pressed together. Walls, a television and framed decor make up the domestic room. The lower-right figure, in red-orange turban and garlands, shows the probable cues of a person receiving the ritual, with the rest of the group as devotees and attendants.
