Indoor photograph of a pada puja at a home visit. A man with long dark hair in a bun, wearing a saffron-orange wrap, rudraksha malas across his chest and arms, and rudraksha bracelets, sits and extends his right hand to bless an elderly man with silver hair and glasses, who wears a white shirt and red-bordered dhoti and has his hands near the blessing figure. A woman in an orange sari with a flower garland kneels beside them with palms pressed together. Behind them an attendant in an orange cloth with a white tilak holds a silver tray of apples and offerings. Other saffron-robed attendants stand nearby, one holding a rudraksha mala and another with a tilak. A framed deity picture hangs on the left wall and yellow curtains hang behind.
