A person in orange-saffron cloth stands at the right edge, showing bare feet with a cracked heel and pale toenails pressed against the tray. The tray holds small golden kalasha-style vessels, pink lotus flowers, sliced white vegetables or coconut pieces in shallow silver bowls, and a red apple. Silver-toned plates with embossed rims surround the arrangement, a pink flower petal in the foreground. This appears to be a puja offering arrangement rather than a full group scene, with the orange-clad person visible only from the feet to the hem of the garment.2010-10-31 +2 copiesClose-up of a padapuja-style offering: a pair of bare feet in the foreground, wrapped in orange cloth at the ankles, rests on a golden tray surrounded by silver bowls and plates.
