Indoor photograph of a padapuja house visit in a white-walled room with a framed deity picture above and garlands strung along the top. A seated man in a saffron-and-maroon robe with a long swept-back hairstyle, rudraksha malas and a gold armband holds a silver ceremonial staff topped with a crescent and a bell-like finial, and wears white and red flower garlands. Before him, a bespectacled older man in a grey shirt and white shawl bends forward, touching feet while a woman in a white patterned top bows low. Two young women in patterned orange and black clothing kneel nearby. Standing behind, a man in an orange-yellow shawl and a monk in orange with rudraksha beads watch, and another man in white kurta stands with folded arms. Shelves of cushions and a red-and-white patterned mat lie at left. The seated robed figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues including long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold ornaments.
