Close-up photograph of a pair of bare feet resting on a gold-bordered maroon and gold brocade cloth set on a silver tray. Yellow marigold garlands and white flowers surround the feet, with two small gold kalasha-style vessels near the toes. The person's orange saffron robe drapes across the right side of the frame, and the orange cloth beneath gives a warm background. This appears to be a padapuja, a ritual washing and worship of the feet.
