A padapuja ritual in which hands pour milk from silver bowls over a pair of bare feet resting on a golden tray. The feet belong to a person in an orange saffron robe, visible at the left. Hands in white clothes hold the silver vessels, and a white-sleeved arm reaches in from the right. Pink flower petals, white jasmine-like blossoms, a red apple and a silver plate fill the lower foreground. Silver bangles and a green bangle are visible on the wrists. a person is not visibly identifiable from the feet and hands alone, so the candidate is unsure.
