Photo of a padapuja at a devotee's home in a living room. A seated figure on the right wears a rust-orange robe, a multicolour flower garland and rudraksha beads, holds a silver trident and extends a hand over a plate of flowers and offerings held by a devotee at lower right. Swamiji (probable) by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, ornate gold armband and bangles, and rudraksha mala with a garland, in a teaching or blessing role. Around him, a woman in a green sari with flowers in her hair presses her palms together, a boy in a striped shirt has his hands joined, and several young men in saffron and white robes sit nearby. A small shrine with a framed deity picture and a kalasha stands in the doorway behind, with a green leaf garland overhead.

A figure seated on a chair at right, wearing a rust-red robe with a gold border, a long multi-coloured marigold and red garland, rudraksha beads, gold bangles and a silver trident held upright in one hand, is the central figure; the appearance suggests a person seated in a role of receiving honour. A woman in a teal silk sari holds a lit camphor flame toward him with her palms together, while a boy in a blue-and-white striped shirt sits nearby. Men in saffron-orange clothing with folded hands sit on the floor, and a man in white dhoti with rudraksha mala sits in front.
