April 20 20132013-04-20Close-up photo of a bare-footed person in a rust-red garment with gold border standing on a polished silver tray. The tray has elephant-head handles and repoussé floral motifs. A pink lotus flower with white petals and stamens rests on the tray near the feet, and a gold ornamental vessel sits beside the toes. A hand wearing a gold bangle reaches in from the right to place or arrange the flowers. The setting is a temple or ashram ritual.2012-05-08 +1 copiesClose-up photograph of a pair of bare feet resting on a silver tray decorated with lotus-petal relief and an elephant-head handle, with white flowers and a pink lotus bloom scattered around them. The feet emerge from a saffron-orange draped garment with a gold-bordered hem, set against an ornate gold-toned throne or pedestal. The scene reads as a foot-worship ritual (padapuja) before a seated figure whose face and body are cropped out of frame. The lower legs and feet are the only visible human body parts.2012-05-18October 20 20122012-10-20September 26 20122012-09-26A photograph of a bare foot resting on a silver plate of flower petals during a padapuja ritual.
