He holds a red-cloth-wrapped object and wears a silver wristwatch and rings. Fresh white and red flower petals lie on a red cushion with gold trim. Only the feet, hands and garments are visible, so no face or identity can be determined; the seated person's role is not shown.2015-09-05Close-up of a golden throne seat draped in red cloth and heaped with yellow marigold garlands and white jasmine strings. A pair of bare feet in white trousers with gold-threaded checks rests on a red cushion, while a man in white shirt stands at left with a hand near the feet. Fallen white petals are scattered across the red fabric, and a green leaf garland hangs at right beside an ornate gold frame.2010-12-29A close photograph of a bare-footed seated figure on a gold-trimmed throne-like seat draped in red cloth and heaped with yellow and white flower garlands. A person in white clothing bends forward at the left edge, apparently touching or honouring the feet, with white rose petals scattered on the red cushion. An orange-robed figure is partly visible at the lower left, and a gold-edged red seat with a golden kalasha-like vessel appears at the right. The seated person's face is not visible; the scene reads as a padapuja-style veneration ritual.2010-12-29Close-up of a pair of bare feet resting on a gold-patterned silk cushion placed on a brass plate, decorated with yellow marigold garlands and white flowers. The feet belong to a person wearing a saffron-orange robe that drapes over the right side of the frame. Two small gold kalasha-style vessels with red flower accents sit between the toes and the cushion, and red tasselled fabric hangs around the edges. The orange cloth beneath the scene suggests an outdoor ritual setting. This appears to be a padapuja, the ritual washing or worship of feet, with the person receiving the offering. Only the feet and robe are visible, so the person's face is not shown.2010-07-24Close-up photograph of a bare foot resting on a red cushioned seat, with the figure's legs wrapped in a red and cream garment with a patterned gold-edged border. Two small brass cups sit beneath the foot, surrounded by a low arrangement of white, yellow, orange and pink flower petals and a garland of marigolds and red roses along the golden base of the seat. The lower body is visible but no face is shown; the person is seated or standing on a dais.2011-09-30July 15 20112011-07-15May 22 20182018-05-22 +1 copiesDecember 26 20112011-12-26November 20 20112011-11-20
