Close view of a padapuja ritual: a bare foot in orange clothing rests on a gold tray filled with red and white flower petals and yellow marigolds. A woman's hand, wearing a red thread on the wrist and dark nail polish, pours water or offering from a silver vessel over the foot. Silver bowls, small spoons and a silver puja plate with a leafy garnish surround the foot. Only the feet and hands are visible; the robed person's face and body are outside the frame, so no identity is claimed.
