Photo of a padapuja at a devotee's home in a small room with pink walls and a glass-fronted display cabinet holding figurines behind. A man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a white flower garland and rudraksha mala sits on a red-and-gold cushion, holding a tall silver staff upright with his right hand. He has a long swept-back hair style, gold bangles and a gold necklace, and his eyes are closed. A woman in a blue sari with a dark rudraksha mala kneels and pours liquid from a brass pot over a brass plate on the floor. Around them, a bald young man in saffron, a seated man in a white shirt and beads, a child, and an older man in white and sandals watch. Flower garlands decorate the room, and a framed photo hangs on the wall.
