Close photograph of a padapuja ritual: a bare foot in a saffron orange garment rests on a silver tray set with red apples and pink flowers. Silver bowls and a gold-bordered plate surround it. Behind, a woman in a red and cream sari with gold trim holds a silver vessel, and dark-haired heads of devotees are seen blurred in the foreground. The foot is visible; no face is shown, so the identity of the person is not established.
