Close-up photograph of bare feet in a padapuja, the foot-worship ritual. A person in orange robes sits with bare, dusty feet resting on a golden tray. Around the feet are silver and gilt ritual vessels holding pink rose petals, a silver conch-shaped vessel, small bowls of yellow liquid, and white flower or grain offerings. Only the lower body and feet of the worshipped person are visible; no face shows. The scene reads as padapuja with abhishekam-style offerings laid around the feet.
