Close-up photograph of a pair of black rubber slippers, or padukas, placed on a brass-framed tray with a red and gold cloth beneath. Red and white rose petals are scattered over the footwear, and two small round brown sweets or cakes sit on the slippers. Blurred at the edges: a brass deity figure with a gold-trimmed garment on the left, an orange fruit, a brass lamp at the right, and a glass vase of green stems behind. No people are visible. The arrangement suggests a ritual offering of padukas, a common practice in puja at the altar.
