A photograph of a pada puja during a house visit. A long-haired man in rust-orange and maroon silk sits on a cushioned seat, his bare right arm extended as he places a hand on the head of an elderly man in white who kneels before him. A woman in white with a floral garland kneels beside them, hands folded in anjali. Behind them a young saffron-robed attendant holds a plate with apples and a sweet, another attendant in white holds a rudraksha mala, and a saffron-robed attendant on the right holds a staff. The room has blue walls, a framed shelf on the left and a white-clothed group in the background.
