Close-up photograph of a padapuja setup on an orange cloth with a patterned border. In the foreground, a pair of dark wooden sandals with orange-brown straps rests on a dark tray, decorated with white and yellow plumeria flowers. Beside them, a rudraksha mala with gold caps is laid out. A small brass oil lamp with a lit flame sits in a ribbed silver dish, a brass bell and a small brass pot with water stand nearby, and a brass figure of a standing deity stands at the upper left. A blurred person in a red-orange garment appears in the background, out of focus, with no visible face.2013-12-11September 03 20142014-09-03April 17 20132013-04-17 +2 copiesA close overhead photo of a ritual setup on a striped pink and teal cloth.

No people are visible.2014-05-20A close photograph of a bare foot resting on a brass tray filled with red, orange and yellow marigold and rose petals, with a small brass lamp and a white flower among them. The foot is adorned with a strand of rudraksha beads at the ankle, and a garland of white jasmine and pink lotus flowers hangs above it from a figure in a maroon garment with gold borders. Brass trays with offerings sit on a gold-toned table in the background. This appears to be a padapuja, the ritual worship of the feet, though the person whose feet these are cannot be confirmed from the image.2017-06-23October 04 20142014-10-04 +1 copies
