A close photograph of a ritual padapuja arrangement on a gold-patterned table. A bare foot of a person in a red and gold silk garment rests on a tray surrounded by silver bowls and plates filled with red roses, yellow roses, orange flowers, white lilies and green leaves, with small brass vessels and a silver kalasha-style pot. Other people in white clothing are partly visible at the top edge. No face is shown. The scene suggests a foot-worship ceremony with flower offerings.2013-09-02October 11 20142014-10-11March 07 20132013-03-07Close view of a padapuja ritual: a pair of bare feet rests on a bed of red roses, yellow marigolds and white plumeria flowers on a gold tray.
