A photograph of a padapuja in a room with white walls and a window. A seated man in an orange robe with a red-orange forehead mark sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands pressed together in namaste with eyes closed. A woman in a white sari with a gold border kneels at his feet, washing them from a silver plate with rose petals. To the right, another man in orange robes sits with folded hands. Silver vessels, a bowl of fruit and sweets, and petals sit on the white cloth in the foreground. The man on the throne has long dark hair and distinctive orange robes, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate seated in person.
