June 24 20122012-06-24Close-up photograph of a pada puja: bare feet of a seated person in orange robes rest on an ornate gold-toned pedestal with embossed floral designs. Pink roses and white flower petals are scattered on the gold plate beside the feet. Gold carved panels and an orange-red floor frame the scene. A person's feet are visible but the face is not shown, so the individual's identity is unsure.2010-10-19Close-up photograph of a seated person's bare feet resting on an ornate gold-coloured pedestal, with the figure's orange-saffron robe draping over an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushioning above. Small yellow and pink flowers lie on the gold base beside the feet. Only the lower body is visible, so no face or head is shown.2010-11-06Close-up photo of a pair of bare feet standing on an ornate gold-rimmed brass tray filled with water, with a pink flower floating beside them and two small gold cups near the toes. The person wears orange-saffron robes that cover the legs down to the ankles. The tray rests on an orange cloth cushion over a red carpet, with a gold-embossed ledge and metal vessels in the background. The feet and robe are the only visible parts of the person, so no face or identity is shown. This appears to be a padapuja-style foot-washing ritual.August 25 20092009-08-25August 25 20092009-08-25Close-up photograph of a pair of bare feet resting on a silver tray decorated with lotus-petal relief and an elephant-head handle, with white flowers and a pink lotus bloom scattered around them. The feet emerge from a saffron-orange draped garment with a gold-bordered hem, set against an ornate gold-toned throne or pedestal. The scene reads as a foot-worship ritual (padapuja) before a seated figure whose face and body are cropped out of frame. The lower legs and feet are the only visible human body parts.2012-05-18October 14 20102010-10-14Close photograph of a bare foot in the act of stepping onto an ornate golden tray or plate with embossed floral and scroll patterns.

Beside the tray at the left are white flower petals and pink blossoms, and the background shows more gilded carved decoration. The foot is dark-skinned and placed on the tray's raised rim as if in a foot-washing or padapuja ritual. There are no other people visible.2010-11-08November 06 20102010-11-06Close-up photograph of a bare foot resting on an ornate gold tray, with the robe of an orange-clad figure seated on a gilded throne with red upholstery above.
