A photograph of a padapuja ritual at a silver throne. Bare feet in a rust-red robe with gold border rest on a silver tray filled with white and red flower petals. Ornate silver throne legs and a silver footstool are visible. Several devotees with dark hair are seated in the foreground, one bending forward with folded hands in worship, and a woman in a dark top watches from the upper right.

A bare foot rests on a silver plate filled with red and yellow flower petals and a small brass lamp. A devotee in a red-and-gold garment sits in the foreground, with a seated woman in a dark embroidered sari and another devotee's head visible at right, all partly blurred. Silver carved pillars of the throne frame the scene.

A large tiger-striped cloth or tiger-skin-patterned draping sits behind the foot. A seated woman in a red dress and a rudraksha mala watches in the background, and several heads of seated devotees in white and red clothing are in the foreground. The warm pink-red lighting gives the scene a ceremonial feel.2018-01-03Close-up photograph of bare feet resting on a polished silver tray filled with pink and red flower petals and a small gold cup or vessel. The feet belong to a person wearing a red and gold-bordered ceremonial garment, with a shimmering gold border, and a silver-toned ornate ritual implement rests behind them. A hand with a ring appears at the top edge. The setting suggests a padapuja, a ritual washing or honouring of the feet, with flowers and a dish of offerings. No face is visible, so the identity of the person cannot be determined from the image.2014-05-21May 20 20162016-05-20
