Close-up photograph of a padapuja ritual. A hand in a silver bangle pours white milk from a small silver cup over a pair of bare feet, which are almost hidden under heaps of white jasmine-like flowers, red and orange rose petals and green leaves. A second person in a saffron-orange robe sits beside the feet, and a bare arm wearing a gold bangle reaches in from the right. Around the scene are ornate gold-coloured trays, clear glass and silver bowls, small brass oil lamps and scattered red flowers.
