A photograph of a padapuja during a house visit in a living room with a red accent wall and a staircase on the left. A woman in a red sari with a flower in her hair stands at left with palms pressed together in prayer, while a man in a red shirt and white dhoti stands beside her. On the right, a figure in saffron-orange robes with a silver staff and multiple white and red flower garlands sits on an orange-draped seat, with a rudraksha-style ornamented bracelet on the arm; this figure has long swept-back hair and gold ornaments, consistent with the probable Swamiji cues. Seated devotees in red, white and orange clothing sit on a red carpet, some with garlands, and a boy in front holds a brass plate of offerings. Several other people stand in the background near a small deity image on the wall.
