Close view of bare feet of a person in an orange-red garment resting on a golden tray during a pada puja, the foot-worship rite. Pink lotus flowers, white jasmine-like petals and a red-stained toe are arranged around the feet. Silver bowls and plates hold red apples, a silver vessel and sliced fruit or flowers, all set on a gold-coloured ceremonial surface. Only feet and lower legs are visible, so the person is not identifiable here.
