Close photograph of a bare foot in a golden ritual tray being worshipped by hands. A woman's hand with gold bangles and a silver ring holds a garland of red, white, yellow and purple flowers while another hand, with a rudraksha bead bracelet and wearing white, touches the foot. The foot wears orange-saffron robe fabric at the ankle, and the tray is filled with red and pink rose petals, a green leaf and gold-coloured ornaments. Whose foot it is cannot be determined from the image.2010-08-15August 15 20102010-08-15August 15 20092009-08-15July 05 20172017-07-05 +3 copiesAugust 15 20092009-08-15Close-up photograph of a bare foot resting on a gold-rimmed ornate plate filled with pink, red and yellow rose petals and a white frangipani flower. The foot is adorned with a garland of pink roses, white flowers and gold beads wrapped around the ankle. A small gold vessel sits among the petals, and a golden surface with a silver tray is visible in the blurred background. This appears to be a padapuja, the ritual washing and honouring of a person's feet with flowers. Only a foot and ankle are visible, so the person cannot be counted or identified.2017-07-26July 05 20172017-07-05 +1 copiesJuly 15 20162016-07-15Close-up of a pair of bare feet resting on a gold-embossed tray filled with fresh flowers, including red roses, pink carnations and yellow marigolds.
