The person whose feet are being washed wears no visible face in frame; in the foreground a dark-haired head is partly visible at right. A woman in an orange-and-white outfit with a green-trimmed border and gold bangles pours water, and a man in an orange robe also stands beside the tray. Silver bowls with offerings sit at the bottom of the frame.2010-10-30 +1 copies
