A photograph of a padapuja-style ceremony on a stage before a large backdrop of red-toned banyan tree roots. A seated figure in orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and a garland of marigolds and green leaves. Devotees line the stage: an older man in white dhoti and shirt bends forward with hands raised, a man in a checked shirt reaches toward the throne, a small boy in a light shirt and dark shorts stands in front with his hands together, and a woman in a turquoise sari wears a rudraksha-style mala and holds a pink object. Other women in red and white salwar kameez stand at the right. A standing fan is at the left edge. The seated figure's identity is not established from appearance.

A photograph of a padapuja ceremony on a stage with a large printed backdrop of a banyan tree with orange-tinted branches and aerial roots. A seated figure wears a saffron-orange robe and sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and a floral garland draped over its top. Below, a devotee in a white top and patterned trousers bends forward with forehead touching the stage floor at the feet of the seated figure. A man in a white shirt leans in to touch the seated figure's shoulder, and a woman in white with a red-orange stole stands with hands joined in namaskar. Other attendees stand around in white, lilac and pink saris and checked shirts, including a child in a grey top and a small boy, and a pedestal fan stands at the right edge. The seated figure has long dark hair, is bare-armed and wears no visible crown, with a shawl-like orange wrap, which gives a probable appearance-based cue for a person in an in-person padapuja setting.2009-08-26August 26 20092009-08-26August 27 20092009-08-27 +1 copiesA seated figure in an orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion and a garland of red and yellow flowers draped over its back. Behind the throne, a large backdrop shows a banyan tree with sprawling red-orange aerial roots. Devotees stand in a line on the left and right: a man in a white shirt and grey trousers, a woman in an orange saree, another man in a white shirt, a man in a striped shirt bending toward the seated figure, a woman in a red-bordered saree, and a woman in white on the right. A standing fan is at the lower right edge, and a woman in white is partly visible in the foreground. The seated figure's appearance does not clearly match a known identity, so the person is described by role only.2009-08-30August 26 20092009-08-26A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, draped in saffron-orange robes and with a garland of yellow and red flowers across the top of the chair. A man in a black t-shirt and beige trousers bends forward to offer something cupped in his hands. To the left, a young boy in a tan shirt and a figure in white stand near a red flower arrangement; to the right, a woman in a teal sari with gold border and another woman in white with gold border stand with hands folded. A backdrop of large banyan-like roots in red-orange tones surrounds the stage. The seated figure is an in_person candidate on a throne; the a person candidate is recognizable by saffron robes and ceremonial setting, so this is a person seated on the throne.2008-08-27 +1 copiesAugust 27 20082008-08-27 +1 copiesAugust 26 20092009-08-26August 26 20092009-08-26November 19 20092009-11-19August 06 20092009-08-06A crowded stage event with a large backdrop of a banyan tree's aerial roots and canopy in red-orange tones.
