Photograph of a padapuja house visit at a residential street in Bangalore. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti at left claps with hands pressed together. Central figure with long dark hair wears a red and white jasmine garland, a rudraksha-style mala, and a rust-and-gold striped dhoti with gold armlets; he smiles and gestures in greeting, and his appearance and adornments are consistent with the a person candidate. A woman in a maroon sari with orange border carries a brass plate with a kalasha-style vessel and flowers. A man in cream and gold-bordered dhoti stands at right, hands near chest. Behind them, a black SUV, multi-storey pale buildings, and a green banana-leaf canopy frame the scene.
