Close-up photo of a padapuja-style ritual at the feet of a seated figure. Several hands pour milk from silver bowls with engraved floral patterns over bare feet, while pink lotus petals and a bouquet of red and yellow flowers lie nearby. A saffron cloth edges the frame and gold ornamentation shows at the lower right. Women's hands wear bangles. The pouring milk is the focal point. Visible people are limited to hands and feet, so the count is one or two individuals.
