Photograph of a padapuja during a satsang. A smiling figure seated on a gold-carved throne wears a red-orange turban with gold ornaments, an orange-red robe, a rudraksha mala of large beads, and a leopard-print lower wrap. A silver trident rests against the throne, and a book titled 'Adiyogi, The Seeker of Salvation' lies on the cushion. In the foreground a devotee in white bends forward, touching the seated figure's feet. To the right, a woman in white with an orange-red shawl and rudraksha necklace smiles nearby. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a red turban and orange robe with a rudraksha mala, consistent with the page's description of Paramahamsa Nithyananda presiding over the satsang.
