A top-down photo of a pair of silver-toned sandals or padukas resting on a gold shimmering cloth. In front of them, a silver tray holds a large yellow rose, scattered orange and white rose petals, two small silver cups containing red-tinted powder (kumkum), a small gold ornament, and a folded gold-and-red cloth piece. No people are visible. This appears to be a padapuja-style offering of flowers and kumkum before the paduka.
