Close-up of a pair of bare feet in a ritual setting, resting on a golden tray scattered with white flower petals and green leaves. The wearer is in an orange-saffron garment visible at the upper right. Silver and gold bowls and small golden finials surround the feet, with a red-and-yellow fruit visible in a silver bowl at the bottom. This appears to be a padapuja, a ritual worship of the feet, with the feet adorned with flower petals and surrounded by offerings. No face is visible, so no identification is made.
