The feet are adorned with red flower garlands wrapped around the ankles, and a metal footwear-like ornament sits on each foot. Behind them are white and orange flower petals arranged as a backdrop, with a maroon velvet cushion beneath the tray and a cream rug with dark green rectangular patterns. The scene resembles a padapuja ritual where the feet of a revered person are washed and honoured with flowers. No person's face or full body is visible.July 05 20022002-07-05 +2 copiesJanuary 01 20042004-01-01Close-up photograph of a pair of bare feet in a silver tray, standing on gold sandals decorated with red and white flower petals. The person wears orange saffron cloth at the top of frame. The silver tray sits on a pink and gold brocade cloth over a patterned fabric. A white-clad hand holding a small vessel appears at the left edge, and a silver vessel with an elephant-head spout sits at the right. This appears to be a padapuja, a ritual washing and worship of the feet, with petals scattered over the gold sandals. The person's face is not visible, so no identity is asserted and a person is set to unsure.
