Close-up of a brass tray holding a pair of gold sandal-shaped padukas heaped with red flowers and leaves, the offering for a puja. Behind it on a draped altar stand a deity murti in a green garment with a garland of marigolds and white jasmine, flanked by two large orange-robed statues wearing gold-embroidered shawls and white flower garlands. Small brass pots and dishes of offerings sit on the altar cloth, with a small blue figure garlanded in green. Gold letters on the altar read partly 'ATI'. No people are visible.

Close-up photograph of a pair of brass sandals, called paduka, placed on a brass plate and garlanded with red hibiscus flowers and red and gold marigold garlands. The sandals rest in front of a carved wooden surface. Behind them are a tiled floor, a small stuffed toy, and red flowers with yellow and pink fabric at the top edge. No people are visible. This appears to be a padapuja-style offering of the paduka, an honouring of the sacred footwear. The sandals' sole is a flat, finely textured grid, with a short engraving on the front strap.
