Close-up photograph of a pair of bare feet resting on a gold-coloured ornate tray, with the wearer's orange-saffron robe visible above. Pink lotus flowers surround the feet, and silver bowls holding white flowers, a red apple and small items sit on the tray. This looks like a padapuja, the ritual washing and honouring of a sannyasi's feet, with the feet of the honoured person being the focus. The feet and robe are the only visible human parts; no face is shown.
