Close photo of bare feet resting on a golden-brown silk cushion placed on an orange cloth, with yellow marigold garlands and white flowers around them. The person's orange robe drapes over the right side of the frame. A golden ornament and a small red flower sit near the toes. This appears to be a padapuja, the ritual washing or worship of feet. The person's face is not visible, so the figure is described only by the visible feet and robe. The orange cloth covers the floor and the seat beneath the cushion.
