A photograph of a padapuja during a home visit in a domestic living room. A figure seated in a black chair on the right wears an orange-red garment with a green and gold border, white and red flower garlands, a rudraksha garland, gold bangles and an ornate gold necklace, and holds a silver ceremonial staff topped with a white disc. Kneeling in front of them, a woman in white and a man in a brown kurta pour liquid from a small vessel over a brass plate of fruit held by a devotee, while a boy kneels and a girl stands nearby. Standing behind, a woman in a red sari with a green shawl and another woman in black and white join their palms in namaskar. A side table draped with a white floral cloth holds offerings and flowers, and framed deity pictures hang on the wall.
