Indoor photo of a pada puja at a house visit. A seated figure in orange and saffron robes, with long swept-back hair, a multi-coloured flower garland and a trident (trishul) beside him, receives a brass aarti plate with a lit flame from a older man in white and a woman in a purple sari. Two saffron-robed attendants stand and sit nearby, one with palms joined; a woman in white, a boy and others watch. Flower petals and fruit lie on the floor and a green-doored shrine is visible behind.

Devotees sit and stand around, including a woman in a white sari with a gold necklace receiving the flame, a young boy in a checked shirt with hands joined, an elderly woman in white, and a shaved-headed young man in orange. A standing man in white shirt and dhoti, and women in saris, watch from the back.
