Close-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.

The foot, with a visible ankle and toes, is partly covering the floral arrangement. The tray sits on a yellow cloth against a warm background, and a maroon garment edge is visible at the upper left. This suggests a padapuja offering of flowers at the feet, though no face or person beyond the foot is shown.2017-07-07 +1 copiesAugust 08 20172017-08-08 +2 copies
