A photograph of a padapuja ceremony on a stage with a large orange banner behind it. A long-haired figure in a lime-green robe and multiple gold-beaded garlands sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne. An elderly man in white clothing kneels and washes the feet of the seated figure with a silver vessel, while a woman in a white sari assists beside the throne. A saffron-robed man stands at the left edge of the stage. The Kannada banner text and fruit-laden plates add to the festive setting. Appearance cues include long hair, gold garlands and a lime-green robe, consistent with a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in person and receiving the padapuja.
