Close photo of a padapuja offering. An orange-robed figure's bare feet rest on a golden tray, with a pink lotus flower laid on it. Silver bowls holding red and pink flowers, sliced fruit and apples surround the tray. Pink and magenta flower garlands drape over the orange robe, and a blue garment appears at the top edge. Only the feet and forearm of the person are visible, so no face is shown. The scene suggests a padapuja ritual of washing or honouring a guru's feet with flowers and fruit offerings.
