A photograph of a padapuja during a home visit in a room with white walls and a white curtain. A man in a long-sleeved red-and-gold robe with a yellow-and-orange flower garland sits on the right, smiling, with long swept-back hair and gold armlets. Seated on a mat, a man in white dhoti with a sacred thread pours flowers before him, and another bald man in white kurta bends to offer petals. A young sannyasi in orange robe stands at right holding a silver staff and ceremonial object. Women in saris and children sit or stand in front with hands joined in prayer, and a man in white kurta stands with palms together at the back. Fruit and a basket of mangoes sit at right. A photographer stands at far left.
