A photograph of a padapuja in a plain tiled room. A seated figure in maroon and gold-bordered dress wears red and white flower garlands and a green leaf garland, holding a tall silver trident-like staff while smiling. Standing on the left, a figure in orange robes raises the staff. A woman in a green and white sari with flower garland kneels with hands folded, and a bald man in orange and red with beaded necklaces sits near a steel plate of food. A man in a white shirt sits at lower right, and fresh white and orange flowers are heaped at the seated figure's feet. A wall calendar hangs at top right and a plate of apples sits at upper right.
