A photograph of a padapuja ritual on a stage. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair sits on a red-draped seat, with a red and gold decorated backdrop behind. A woman in a magenta sari kneels and bends forward to wash or offer to his feet, while a brass plate and offering items sit in front. Behind, a man in white and other women in colourful saris stand watching. Probable Swamiji is the seated figure, identified by saffron robes, long swept-back hair and the honoured seat.
