Each sole is richly embossed with floral scrollwork, a central lotus or yantra-like motif, and beaded borders, with a small pink gemstone-topped knob at the centre of each sole. No people are visible; the sandals serve as a ritual object in a padapuja-style setting.Close-up photograph of a pair of ornate gold-coloured metal sandals placed on a red cloth decorated with gold and blue embroidered borders. The sandals are heavily engraved with floral scrollwork and have small round red-stone ornaments on the sides. Red rose petals are scattered across the sandals and cloth, and a small silver leaf-shaped ornament with a central emblem rests among them. A dark rudraksha-style bead ornament sits between the sandal tops. The arrangement suggests a padukas offering of sacred footwear.2020-12-122011 -eNMiracles Collections +1 copies2011 -eNMiracles Collections +1 copies2011 -eNMiracles CollectionsClose-up photograph of a glossy amber-orange oil lamp with a rounded knob-shaped top, lit and sitting on a dark textured black surface with a pebbled leather-like grain.
