A seated figure in a dark red-brown robe with a white and flower garland holds a tall silver trident upright while a kneeling devotee in a white shirt performs padapuja, offering to the feet on a brass tray with fruit and flower petals. Around them, saffron-robed young men with shaved heads and rudraksha malas sit on the floor. The seated person wears gold bangles and an earring; the seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's claim but not clearly distinctive, so identity is uncertain. Behind them hang orange curtains, a carved wooden screen, a floral arrangement and a framed deity picture. A calendar on the shelf reads 7-7-2014.

A seated person in a rust-coloured robe, adorned with white and red flower garlands, bangles and armlets, holds a silver staff upward while a man in white clothes and an orange shawl pours water from a brass vessel over the seated person's feet on a brass plate. A young boy in white dhoti and rudraksha mala sits nearby, with a monk in orange robes behind. A small girl in a pink top, bananas in a basket, brass lamps, and a flower vase are visible, and a framed deity picture hangs on the wall. The seated person is a probable Swamiji by appearance: long swept-back hair, a ceremonial gold necklace and ornate armlets, with the foot-washing ritual underway. The person pouring water wears a rudraksha mala.2014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesIndoor photo of a home padapuja during a house visit.
