Close view of bare feet in a pada puja ritual, with a person in orange-yellow clothing at the top left. The feet rest on a tray of red, pink and white flower petals and jasmine-like white blossoms, with a small brass lamp. Around them are polished silver bowls and vessels holding saffron-yellow liquid, plus pink and yellow-centred flowers. The silver and gold setting suggests a temple or ashram ceremony.
