A home padapuja ritual in a domestic room with terrazzo floor. A seated person in an orange sannyasi-style robe with long dark hair sits in a white-covered chair with hands pressed together in namaskar. Before them a devotee in an orange robe kneels and performs foot worship, with a silver bowl and rose petals nearby. Around them, a man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala and a woman in white sari kneel with hands folded, and standing women in sarees observe. A silver vessel and a small lamp sit on the floor, with a white chair and a bag in the background. The sitter wears an orange robe with a brown beaded sash over the shoulder.

A seated man with long, swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange sleeveless robe and sits in a white-upholstered chair with hands pressed together in anjali, eyes closed. Around him, devotees sit on a red cloth in a white-walled room: a man in white shirt and white dhoti with a rudraksha-style mala, a woman in a white and gold-bordered sari with hands folded behind a brass plate of offerings, and an older woman in a teal blue sari wearing gold bangles and holding a brass tray of flowers and sweets. A small brass ritual lamp and an orange cloth rest on the chair. The room has a framed picture and a wooden display cabinet in the background. The orange-robed man matches the appearance cues of the a person candidate, with the page stating he was not present at this event, so identity is uncertain.

A home padapuja in a domestic room with a white-cushioned seat and wicker chairs. A person in an orange robe with long dark hair sits on the cushioned seat with palms pressed together in prayer, while a second person in an orange shawl sits on the floor. A man in white sits at the lower edge bowing toward a brass plate of offerings at the seated figure's feet. A woman in white sits to the left with a garland, and a woman in a white sari with red border stands at the top left. A glass cabinet with figurines is behind them. The seated figure in orange with long swept-back hair and beaded necklace is a person match based on the presentation cues, but appearance is not conclusive, so this is marked unsure.

A woman in a white sari with a striped border holds a lit oil lamp toward the seated figure, while a man in a white shirt holds a bell beside her.
