A shaved-headed young priest in saffron dhoti and white upper cloth kneels at a low orange-draped altar, holding a brass plate of white rice and fruit; a standing priest in white with a rudraksha mala and sacred marks on his forehead watches from behind. An older man with white hair and beard in white kurta and a woman in a maroon-and-gold silk sari with a flower in her hair kneel on the floor, each holding red kumkum powder in cupped hands. A flower-garlanded wooden throne with red cushion stands at left, and seated devotees in striped and plain clothing sit at right. The older man's appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm identity.2014-06-20A seated figure in a red-orange robe with a long white and red flower garland and a dark rudraksha-style mala holds a silver trident upright, smiling, on an orange-draped chair against a pink wall with a green shelf.

Seated before him on a patterned rug are several shaven-headed men in orange robes and rudraksha malas, one older man in white kneeling and a bald priest in white dhoti with gold border standing and folding his hands in namaskar. Garlands of pink and white flowers hang on the left, and a man in a dark jacket stands by the doorway. This appears to be a pada puja ritual in a home setting, with silver puja vessels on the floor.2014-06-20July 25 20092009-07-25
