A photograph of a pada puja in a home interior with orange walls. A woman with long dark hair and a red-and-gold-trimmed red garment sits on a black leather armchair draped in orange, wearing a long red and yellow flower garland and a bangle, holding up a silver trident-topped staff. Before her on an orange cloth is a tray of marigold and rose petals, a bowl of flowers and a lit oil lamp. A bald young man in orange robes with a white flower garland sits to her right, and a standing young man in white dhoti holds a shopping bag. A man in a camera-carrying role wears an orange-and-gold shawl at the top left. Devotees in front, including a seated man with folded hands in white and a woman in a pink blouse, face the scene.

Several people kneel and stand around him: a woman in a grey-green sari lifts a lit oil lamp, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti kneels, a shaved-headed young man in white dhoti with gold border stands behind, a boy in orange robes sits in front, and a woman in a maroon sari stands at the left with palms joined in greeting. Flowers and a brass plate rest on the floor. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and distinctive ornate orange-and-gold clothing, so the appearance is a probable match to the named teacher.2014-06-27June 27 20142014-06-27June 26 20142014-06-26July 03 20142014-07-03Indoor photograph of a pada puja-style ritual in a small room with yellow and cream walls and purple paper streamers.
