A photograph of a padapuja-style honouring in a hall. A seated man in an orange garment with a red undershirt sits on a red-cushioned seat before a gold-carved throne decorated with red, white and green flower garlands. A woman in a white sari with gold borders stands at left with bangles, smiling. A standing man in an orange robe with long hair stands at right, and a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala kneels and offers small red boxes to the seated figure's foot. A wall-mounted air cooler and a patterned wall are visible. The seated man has long hair and distinctive ceremonial cues, so the appearance-based label is a person, seated and being honoured by the kneeling devotee.
