A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a purple and white flower garland and bangles sits on a leopard-print seat, smiling and holding out a red fruit to a man in a white dhoti with a gold border who bows forward with hands folded. A woman in a white sari with a rudraksha-style mala kneels nearby, watching. Behind them stands a golden horse vahana draped in red and yellow flower garlands, with a brass lamp and figurines on the right. Another woman in a red-and-brown sari stands at the top right. The setting is a temple-like hall with a red carpet and red cloth backdrop. A seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by the long swept-back hair, saffron robe, flower garlands and seated throne-like position.

In the foreground a bare-chested man with a rudraksha mala stands at left, while a smiling woman in a purple and white garland holds a red fruit and reaches toward a man in a white kurta with a red-and-gold shawl who reaches back to take it. Beside them a woman in cream silk sari with a long rudraksha mala watches. Behind, a golden horse vahana or ceremonial figure with floral garlands stands near brass oil lamps with a lit flame, and an older woman in white sits at right. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person from visible appearance, so the candidate is unsure.2016-02-21March 13 20162016-03-13March 13 20162016-03-13March 13 20162016-03-13Photograph of a padapuja-style ceremony indoors.

A man in a white shirt with a purple flower garland bends forward to touch his feet, while a woman in white with a purple garland also bows. Behind them, golden lamps with burning flames and a golden horse-shaped figure are set against a red-carpeted hall, with several women in white saris standing with folded hands.
