A close photograph of a padapuja ritual. Two people in white clothing sit at the edges of the frame, and a person in saffron-orange robes with a silver bangle and a ring leans in, pouring water from a silver vessel over feet resting in a golden tray. The golden tray holds pink and yellow flowers and green leaves. Behind the tray is an orange cloth-covered table with a small framed picture and a thin trail of incense smoke rising at left.

A close photo of a padapuja ritual: a bare foot resting on a silver tray lined with a maroon velvet cushion is being washed and anointed by a devotee in white clothing. The foot belongs to a person wearing an orange saffron garment that covers the leg. Pink and purple flower petals and a gold-coloured oil lamp or vessel sit on the tray. Gold bowls with offerings and a gold-edged maroon cushion are visible at the edges. Only the lower body and hands are visible, so no face can be seen.2009-10-18September 07 20092009-09-07 +1 copiesClose-up photograph of a padapuja ritual in which a devotee's bare feet are being washed.
