A home padapuja in a living room with a beige sofa draped in white flower garlands. A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a red-and-gold shawl, long swept-back hair, gold bangles and a garland of red and white flowers holds his hands in namaste while his foot rests on a brass plate of flowers and offerings. Several young boys in orange robes and garlands sit nearby, one holding a silver staff, and devotees in white clothes sit on the floor; a woman in orange-and-white attire lights an oil lamp on the plate. A photographer in a red sari stands at left. The page indicates this is a Bangalore padapuja at a devotee's house, and the seated figure in the saffron robes with long hair and ornate gold bangles is a probable Swamiji, receiving the foot-worship in the ritual.
