Close-up photograph of a pair of bare feet resting on a gold tray during a padapuja ritual. The feet, belonging to a person in orange clothing visible at the top edge, are surrounded by white jasmine flowers and green stems strewn across the tray. A small red dot of kumkum marks one foot. Around the tray are silver bowls holding red apples, and gold kalasha-style finials rise among the flowers. The setting suggests a foot-worship offering, with no face visible.
