Close-up photograph of a pair of bare feet resting on an orange cloth draped over a dark surface, with ornate gold-toned carved panels behind. The feet wear orange robes at the ankle and a second pair of hands or arm with a gold bangle and red-and-gold bracelet holds or supports them from the left. This appears to be a padapuja, a ritual washing and honouring of the feet. The figure whose feet these are shows orange sannyasi clothing, but no face or full figure is visible, so identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.
