Only the lower legs and feet of a person in a gold-bordered orange-brown garment are visible. Around the feet are polished silver bowls holding honey-coloured liquid, rose petals and flowers, and silver vessels with spouts, with a small brass cup among the petals. The setting suggests a padapuja, a ritual of washing and honouring the feet with flowers and offerings. No face is visible, so no individual is identified.2013-10-19Close view of bare feet resting on a golden tray arranged for padapuja, the ritual washing and honouring of feet.
