Indoor ritual scene in a white-tiled hall with orange cloths laid on the floor. In the right foreground a figure in orange robes sits cross-legged on an orange mat in front of a microphone stand and a brass bowl, holding a hand near their face. A woman in an orange sari bends forward, and a person in white kneels at her feet touching them, apparently performing a padapuja-style reverence. Other people in orange robes and white dhotis stand and sit around the room, with a seated audience in the background.

Behind her, several shaved-headed men in orange robes with rudraksha malas stand in a line, some smiling. A steel vessel, a brass plate and a garlanded stand with white flowers sit at right. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance cues alone, so no identification is made.2011-03-05A seated figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe with a gold border, sits on an orange-draped cushioned seat before a small altar. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti bends forward to touch the feet of the seated figure, while an older man in white kneels beside him with his hands folded. Behind them a standing person in orange stands near an orange-draped table with a gold garland, and a row of people in white and orange sit at a long table in the background. The floor is covered with woven mats and a patterned rug. This appears to be a feet-touching gesture of respect during the celebrations.2008-12-31November 12 20102010-11-12A photograph of a padapuja-style ritual on a plain concrete floor. A man in white ordinary clothes crouches low on the left, bending forward and placing white flower petals or rice on the bare feet of a standing figure in saffron-orange robes. A small metal plate sits near the feet, and a white powder circle is drawn on the floor to the right. Several other people in orange robes and white dhotis stand around the edges of the frame, and a garland of orange flowers hangs on a pillar at upper left. The feet being honoured are bare and the people are shown from the waist or knees down, so no face is visible.2011-05-23
