A photograph of a ceremonial tray arranged with a pair of ornate gold sandals, the golden footwear decorated with raised floral and scroll patterns. Red roses and pale cream petals are scattered over and around the sandals, with two small gold-and-cream ornate caps placed among them. Several long rudraksha malas with brown beads and gold spacers are coiled around the rim of the tray, along with a blue and silver wrapped ribbon. The tray rests on a dark patterned cloth. No people are visible. The arrangement appears to be a padapuja-style offering of sacred footwear, though the exact ritual is not specified.
