No face is visible.2018-05-12August 19 20132013-08-19Close-up photograph of a bare foot resting on a silver-coloured tray filled with red roses, white flowers and green leaves, with two small gold-coloured ornaments near the toes. The foot emerges from a saffron-and-gold bordered garment, and a hand rests at the left edge. A red cloth covers the surface beneath the tray, and an ornate silver vessel sits at the right. This appears to be a padapuja, a ritual of honouring the feet with flowers. The foot is visible but the wearer's face is not shown, so no person is identified here.2012-10-16A photograph of an ornate golden-brown brass or gilt bowl resting on folded pale peach and orange silk cloth with fringed edges, set on a red and gold patterned fabric. The bowl holds small rectangular gold-toned tablets or bars and a sprig of green leaves. No people are visible; the scene appears to be a ritual offering arrangement.2019-05-18
