A photograph of a padapuja-style honouring inside a hall with orange-red walls. A seated figure on a red and gold throne wears an orange garment, a gold necklace and a long mala, with long dark hair, and holds up a small gold-coloured offering. A standing attendant in saffron-orange robes and a gold necklace holds a red-wrapped tray, and a second attendant in orange stands behind. A bald priest in white with gold trim kneels at lower right holding a red-wrapped item. Two people in front, a man in cream kurta and a woman in brown blouse and gold-bordered sari, kneel before the throne. Behind them, standing devotees in white dhotis and jasmine-and-red-flower garlands fill the background, with a hanging decoration of paper cranes above.

The central figure wears a rust-red and maroon dhoti-style garment with a gold-bordered shawl, a red-and-maroon turban, a long garland of white and red flowers, and gold bangles, and holds a silver trident-staff while smiling and gesturing with folded hands. Before them a seated elderly man in white dhoti and shirt holds a brass cup, and an elderly woman in a green-yellow blouse and white sari joins in offering. A younger shaved-headed man in white with a tilak sits at lower left, and a shaved-headed boy in orange robes sits beside the offering. Standing behind are men in white shirts and dhotis with folded hands, a man in orange robes, a man in saffron with a rudraksha mala, and a child in pink clothing held by a standing man. A tray of flowers sits on the floor. A cameraman in the background takes photos. Several photographs hang on the wall at the top right.2014-07-01July 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copiesAugust 15 20142014-08-15A seated person in a maroon and saffron dress and a red-and-gold turban sits on a red cushioned seat, holding a silver trident and wearing a garland of white flowers with red blossoms. Around them, a devotee in a yellow blouse and white dress kneels to wash or touch their feet, while an older man in white sits beside a brass vessel of flowers. Saffron-robed attendants stand behind, one holding a camera, and a standing man in white folds his hands in namaste; a young child is held aloft at the back of a small room with yellow walls. The scene reads as a padapuja at a devotee's home.2014-07-01July 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copies
