Close-up photograph of a bare foot resting on a golden ritual tray strewn with white jasmine flowers and orange and red marigold and rose petals. The foot wears a red-brown rudraksha mala around the ankle and is draped in orange cloth with gold border at the edge. Around it sit silver bowls holding flowers, a white conch shell, a small brass kalasha-style vessel and a silver tray. The foot is the only visible body part, so the ceremony's participants are not identifiable in frame.

A close photo of a bare foot resting on a silver tray of padapuja offerings, with a red-and-gold cloth sleeve at top right. The tray holds red, orange and yellow flowers, rose petals, a silver-coloured tray with small rectangular items and a silver elephant-shaped vessel. Silver ritual containers and a gold-toned table surround the tray, with a silver ritual pot at top left. The foot belongs to a person whose body is mostly out of frame, so no one's face or full figure is visible. This appears to be a padapuja offering setting.

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.

Close view of bare feet of a person in an orange garment being washed in a padapuja ritual. Pink lotus flowers, white flower petals and small apples sit on silver ritual plates and a gold-toned base. A silver spouted vessel rests among the offerings. The feet are the main subject, with the orange cloth and a garland of green leaves and pink flowers at the top. No face is visible, so there is no visible evidence for an identity of the person. Gold ornate decoration fills the background.
