Close view of bare feet stepping across a carpet of yellow and pink marigold and rose petals. The wearer's cream dhoti or silk garment has a gold border and a gold-brocaded upper cloth. Beside it, a cupped hand and a gold bangle appear in the lower right, and white jasmine garlands hang at the right edge. A yellow backdrop and a small orange-and-red altar with flowers sit behind. Another white-clad figure stands at the left edge. The image shows only legs, feet and hands, so no face is visible.

The central figure wears an orange saffron garment, a white flower garland and a beaded necklace, with long swept-back hair, and gestures with one hand. Before the throne, a man in white clothes kneels and pours or scatters petals and flowers onto the floor, while a woman in a white sari bends forward to offer. A seated man in orange kneels to the right and another attendant in orange stands at the far right. This resembles a devotee honouring a seated teacher with petal offerings. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a floral garland, and is on the throne, so the identity is an appearance-based candidate.2008-07-17February 24 20072007-02-24Close view of a person's bare feet wearing gold-toned ornate sandals or padukas, resting on a white cloth scattered with yellow marigolds, pink petals and white jasmine flowers.
