Photograph of a padapuja ceremony. A seated man in an ochre-orange robe and a long garland of pink, yellow and white flowers sits on an ornate gold-and-brown throne, holding a silver rod, with a white tilak on his forehead and rudraksha beads around his neck and arms. A bald man in a white dhoti and orange-bordered shawl kneels before him, washing or offering to his bare feet, which rest on a silver tray of flowers and petals. Silver puja plates with oil lamps and offerings sit in the lower right corner. The seated figure has distinctive ochre robes, a gold pendant and a garland, which are probable cues for a person, while the kneeling devotee is in white.

Their bare feet rest on a bed of rose and marigold petals. A man in a white shirt bends forward with his palms pressed together, hand raised toward the seated figure's feet in reverence. Behind them, sannyasis in saffron/orange robes and rudraksha malas stand, one with a white tilak on his forehead. Flowers adorn the background, and a gold-coloured item is visible at the lower centre. The scene suggests a padapuja-style honouring, though the seated figure's identity is not established by appearance alone.2013-07-22August 18 20152015-08-18September 21 20162016-09-21December 15 20172017-12-15December 17 20122012-12-17
