Close-up photograph of a padapuja ritual in which milk is poured over feet. A hand in a patterned sleeve tips a silver cup of white liquid, which streams over a pair of bare feet resting on a silver tray. Pink lotus blossoms, white flower petals and small gold ornaments lie on the tray, and a bouquet of red roses and green leaves appears at the top right. Only hands and feet are visible; no face is shown, so no person can be identified.
