A photograph of a devotee in a white shirt seated at lower left, with his bald head and white hair visible from behind, reaching toward a seated figure in an orange robe at upper right. The devotee's hands are placed over a brass plate filled with pink and white flower petals and red blossoms; another pair of hands and a white-sleeved arm also reach toward the figure's feet. Gold-carved wooden throne armrests and a maroon cloth frame the scene, consistent with a padapuja, where feet are honoured with flowers. Rose petals are scattered on the maroon cloth. A partially visible person with dark hair appears at the bottom edge, and a small lanyard is visible at the left edge.

A photograph of a padapuja ritual. An elderly bald man in a white shirt sits with palms pressed together in namaskar, head bowed close to a brass tray of flower petals, pink lotus petals and red blossoms. A standing figure in orange-saffron robes with a red flower at the shoulder is visible above the tray, and a woman in a white garment with a rudraksha-style bead necklace sits at the left edge. Another woman's hand with gold bangles reaches toward the tray to offer petals, and an ornate gold chair with carved details stands behind. The orange-robed figure's face is not visible, so the identity of the person being honoured is not established. Brass oil lamp and kalasha-like vessel sit among the petals.A photo of a padapuja ritual.
