A photograph of a padapuja ritual in a plain room with pale walls and a wall calendar. A seated figure in a rust-red turban and matching red-brown robes wears a thick garland of white and pink flowers and gold armlets, holding a tall silver staff upright. Beside him, a young attendant in saffron robes with a white forehead mark holds a lit oil lamp near a tray of fruit and flowers. A devotee in a white shirt and glasses and a woman in a green-and-gold sari bend forward with hands together, while another saffron-clad attendant sits at right. A photographer in a white shirt and light trousers stands behind, holding a camera.
