Close-up photograph of a pair of bare male feet being washed during a padapuja ritual. Water glistens on the feet and toes. Around them are polished silver bowls and trays with embossed borders, pink and white flower petals, and a red apple. A gold-toned vessel sits at the right. A man's orange-red garment hem and a red-and-pink floral garland are visible at the top right. The feet are the only visible body parts, so this is one partially visible person.
