A photograph of a seated figure in a room with blue walls receiving a pada puja. The central figure sits on an orange-cushioned chair in a rust-orange robe with a red-and-yellow marigold garland and a rudraksha mala, holding a silver trident upright. A sannyasi in orange robe kneels at the side and a man in a white dhoti with gold border stands at left, while seated devotees in white shirts and a woman in white with a flower in her hair sit in front. A devotee in an orange robe with a yellow beaded necklace pours from a vessel near a brass plate of offerings, and a silver tray holds fruit and flowers. A patterned yellow cloth covers the floor and a carpet lies beneath the chair.

A seated person in orange and maroon robes, wearing a long multicolored flower garland with white, red and yellow blooms, holds a silver trident upright and smiles with eyes lowered. Seated on a red floral cloth around them are several devotees: a shaved-headed man in orange and maroon with a rudraksha-style necklace, a woman in a pink blouse, a girl in white with a long braid and a red flower, and men in white dhotis with orange shawls. Brass plates, bowls and fruit sit on an orange-draped table, beneath framed portraits and a small deity picture with garlands. Several people are visible; the central figure's identity is unsure from appearance alone.2013-06-23 +2 copiesJune 23 20142014-06-23 +2 copiesJuly 01 20142014-07-01June 23 20142014-06-23 +2 copiesA seated man in a rust-red dhoti with orange border and white flower garland, wearing rudraksha malas and gold bangles, raises a silver staff with a ceremonial fan-like top while a tray of fruit and offerings sits before him on a patterned rug.
