A seated person in a home shrine room receives padapuja, the feet being washed by a woman in a teal blouse and gold-bordered sari who kneels before a brass plate of fruit and flowers. The seated figure wears a rust-orange robe with a gold border, a red-and-yellow marigold garland, a rudraksha mala, gold armlets and a silver staff topped by a trident, and smiles while sitting on a wooden chair. Behind, a young man in orange and a bare-chested young man in orange with rudraksha beads stand, a shaved-headed young man in white dhoti and rudraksha sits, and a man in white kurta holds a phone. A framed deity picture hangs on the wall, with a brass lamp and a television in the room. Six people are visible.
