Close-up photo of a padapuja ritual: a person in an orange robe has bare feet resting on a golden tray, while a hand pours milk from a silver vessel over the feet. Other hands hold silver bowls and a red apple sits in a silver dish nearby, with pink flower petals and a gold lamp at the left edge. The scene shows only feet, hands and robe, so the identity of the person in orange cannot be determined from appearance.2010-11-09November 18 20102010-11-18 +2 copiesClose-up of a padapuja ritual: hands pour water from small silver vessels over a bare foot resting on a gold-coloured tray.
