A photograph of a padapuja in a dimly lit hall. A figure seated on an ornate gold throne with a carved lion-head armrest wears a maroon-and-saffron wrap, a white and red flower garland, a red and gold turban with a feather plume, and a rudraksha-style necklace; he holds a slender rod. Probable Swamiji, identified by the throne-seated figure's turban, garland and wrap. In the foreground a bald man in a white shirt and white trousers sits with his back to the camera. Several devotees sit on the right, with women in red and orange saris and salwar, and brass and silver plates of flowers and offerings lie on a gold table. Hanging brass bells and oil lamps are visible above and beside the throne, and a carved wooden door stands at right.
