Close-up photograph of a pair of bare feet standing on a round silver tray filled with reddish liquid and scattered petals. The feet are adorned with red flower garlands wrapped around the ankles, and a metal footwear-like ornament sits on each foot. Behind them are white and orange flower petals arranged as a backdrop, with a maroon velvet cushion beneath the tray and a cream rug with dark green rectangular patterns.

No person's face or full body is visible.July 07 20022002-07-07 +1 copiesClose-up photo of a pair of bare feet standing on a folded beige and red cloth mat, the soles and toes smeared with white and yellow paste.
