June 07 20172017-06-07November 23 20092009-11-23Close-up photograph of a bare foot resting on a silver-coloured tray filled with red roses, white flowers and green leaves, with two small gold-coloured ornaments near the toes. The foot emerges from a saffron-and-gold bordered garment, and a hand rests at the left edge. A red cloth covers the surface beneath the tray, and an ornate silver vessel sits at the right. This appears to be a padapuja, a ritual of honouring the feet with flowers. The foot is visible but the wearer's face is not shown, so no person is identified here.2012-10-16Close-up photograph of a bare foot resting on a brass tray filled with white jasmine flowers, during a padapuja ritual.

The foot belongs to a person wearing a rust-orange cloth at the ankle, and a small brass or gold vessel stands among the petals. The tray sits on an intricately embossed silver table, with a carved silver pillar at right. This appears to be padapuja, the ritual worship of the feet. No face is visible and no identity is established from appearance, so no a person candidate is recorded.2018-02-13
