Close-up of a bare foot resting on a polished silver padapuja tray. The foot wears a gold toe ring set with a red stone, and the person's clothing above it is a red-and-gold striped garment. Pink lotus flowers and white jasmine-like flowers are scattered around the foot on the tray, and the surrounding area is ornate gold. Only a foot and leg are visible, with no face shown, so no person can be identified.2012-05-14 +1 copiesJuly 09 20122012-07-09Close photo of a padapuja-style foot worship. A bare foot rests on a golden tray with ornate silver bowls holding flowers. A child's hand with gold bangles reaches to offer red and white flowers, including frangipani-like white blooms and a pink-and-yellow flower, onto a heap of red, white and yellow petals. A person in an orange and gold sari-border garment stands above, and another person's hand holding petals appears at the upper left.

Silver bowls hold white flower petals, a small silver vessel and a red apple sit nearby, and an ornate silver plate lies at the lower right. A hand on the left reaches toward the offerings. Only the feet and hands of the people are visible, so no whole person can be seen. The feet appear to belong to a person in orange robes, but the figure is not shown fully, so identity is unsure.2010-10-31 +2 copiesNovember 10 20102010-11-10May 27 20122012-05-27Close-up photograph of a padapuja ritual in which a bare foot is being washed.
