A photo inside a домашний living room during a padapuja house visit. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a thick red and yellow flower garland and a white flower garland sits on an orange cushioned seat, holding a tall silver staff and smiling, with his bare arm adorned by a gold armlet. Around him, devotees sit or stand on the floor: a seated elderly man in a white shirt, a woman in a purple sari with joined hands, a man in white dhoti with joined palms, and a girl in orange with white flowers in her hair. A young boy in white with a rudraksha-style necklace sits nearby, and a few people in traditional clothing stand in the background, one holding a camera. Brass trays with fruit and offerings lie on the floor, and framed pictures and a glass cabinet line the wall. The appearance-based candidate in orange with a staff and garlands is a person, seated and receiving devotees' reverence.
