A pair of teal-coloured wooden padukas, sandal-style footwear with light brown cross straps and wooden pegs, sits on a dark maroon cloth. The padukas are encircled by a square border of pink and red roses, with a dim, dark setting around them. No people are visible. This appears to be a padukas display for padapuja, shown as a ritual offering arranged with flowers.2012-10-27October 25 20122012-10-25October 27 20122012-10-27March 23 20112011-03-23May 04 20142014-05-04A photograph of a pair of carved wooden sandals placed on a brass tray.

The tray holds yellow marigolds, pink and red roses, and white jasmine strands, with a brass vessel with a small golden cap near the feet.
