Close view of a pada puja ritual: a pair of bare feet in an orange garment rests on a golden tray. Around the feet are pink lotus-like flowers, white jasmine blossoms and green leaves. Silver bowls hold sliced white vegetables or fruit, a red apple sits on a silver dish, and silver vessels with pouring spouts stand nearby. The scene reflects washing or worship of the feet with offerings. The feet belong to a person whose identity cannot be determined from the image, and no face is visible.
