A photograph of a padapuja at a gold-and-red throne backed by a golden decorative arch, with a trishul mounted above. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes, wearing a rudraksha mala and a flower garland, sits on the throne smiling while a man in white ritual clothes bends forward and touches the feet of the seated figure, which rest on a red cloth. Several women stand nearby: one in a lavender dress and striped shawl, another in a turquoise patterned dress, and others in light sarees. A man in orange robes stands at left, and red and orange flowers decorate the throne and floor. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garlands on a throne, consistent with the page's Swamiji presence.
