A photograph of a padapuja ritual on a stage with a red and gold backdrop. A seated figure in an orange robe with a red-orange cloth over the shoulders sits barefoot on an ornate gold and red throne decorated with garlands in red, yellow and white. A man in white kurta and dhoti bends forward to offer reverence at the seated figure's feet. A woman in a turquoise sari and grey cardigan with an ID badge stands beside the throne with her hands together. Another woman in white sari and an attendant in white garments stand nearby, and a person in orange robes stands at the left edge. The figure on the throne matches appearance cues of a person with orange robe and a seated place of honour, so identity is unsure. Rituals and setting suggest a satsang-style event.

A seated figure in an orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, garlanded with yellow and red flowers and green leaves. A devotee in a white shirt bends toward the seated figure's feet while others stand around in white and orange clothing; a woman in a light blue sari and a woman in white stand at right with hands folded, and a child in white stands near the throne's base. A gold footstool and a red-and-gold backdrop complete the scene. The seated figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so only the role of seated figure in orange is described.2009-08-26August 26 20092009-08-26August 26 20092009-08-26August 27 20082008-08-27August 29 20092009-08-29August 27 20092009-08-27 +1 copiesPhotograph of a golden ornate throne decorated with a garland of yellow and pink flowers, seated on a red cushion.
