Close photograph of a bare foot in a golden ritual tray being worshipped by hands. A woman's hand with gold bangles and a silver ring holds a garland of red, white, yellow and purple flowers while another hand, with a rudraksha bead bracelet and wearing white, touches the foot. The foot wears orange-saffron robe fabric at the ankle, and the tray is filled with red and pink rose petals, a green leaf and gold-coloured ornaments. Whose foot it is cannot be determined from the image.2010-08-15August 15 20102010-08-15July 26 20172017-07-26Close-up photograph of a bare foot resting on a gold-rimmed ornate plate filled with pink, red and yellow rose petals and a white frangipani flower. The foot is adorned with a garland of pink roses, white flowers and gold beads wrapped around the ankle. A small gold vessel sits among the petals, and a golden surface with a silver tray is visible in the blurred background. This appears to be a padapuja, the ritual washing and honouring of a person's feet with flowers. Only a foot and ankle are visible, so the person cannot be counted or identified.2017-07-26August 08 20092009-08-08July 26 20172017-07-26October 14 20102010-10-14Padapuja ritual: two bare feet of a person wearing an orange garment with gold border rest in a silver tray filled with flower petals, including white, yellow, pink and purple blooms. Two hands pour water from golden cups over the feet; one hand wears gold bangles and a ring. A gold-covered table and ornate gold surface surround the tray. Only feet and hands are visible, so the person's identity cannot be determined from the image.2009-08-18August 08 20092009-08-08July 15 20162016-07-15Close-up photograph of a devotee's hands performing padapuja on a pair of bare feet resting on a golden tray. The devotee wears a gold bangle and a braided thread band on the wrist and a ring on a finger. The feet are smeared with a pale paste and are being decorated with flower petals and a green leaf. Around them are yellow chrysanthemums, red roses, purple flowers and sprigs of greenery, with ornate gold vessels and small gold-coloured ornaments scattered on the tray. The setting is an ornate gold-embossed metal plate.2010-08-15August 15 20092009-08-15
