Close-up photo of a pair of wooden padukas, or sandals, resting on a round golden-brown metal tray with a beaded rim. The sandals are dark and the wooden straps are a warm brown, and a small clear crystal or glass piece sits between them. Purple flowers with dark red centres are heaped over the sandals' footbeds, with a couple of brown seeds or nuts visible among them. Yellow marigold garlands and a reddish cloth edge appear blurred at the top of the frame. The sandals are a ritual offering of flowers at a temple shrine, with no people visible.
