A ceremonial padapuja scene on a colourful woven rug in front of a golden throne with carved lion arms. A seated man in an orange-brown saffron-toned robe and orange turban, wearing a pink flower garland and gold necklaces, sits on a low stool while a kneeling man in white dhoti with yellow borders washes or touches his feet. Nearby, a woman in a purple sari and another in a gold-and-purple sari stand beside a golden swing decorated with yellow and pink flower garlands, with an older woman in purple and a man in white with yellow-bordered cloth standing behind. Several onlookers in white and gold attire stand at the back. Garlands and ornate gold decor surround the stage. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man in orange-brown robes, turban and gold necklaces, shown in a ritual role with a devotee washing his feet.
