Close view of a padapuja-style offering: a pair of bare feet rests on a gold tray while a woman's hand, wearing a silver bangle and ring, places a pink lotus and white flowers. Around the tray are many small silver bowls and cups holding white blossoms and flower petals, with a gold ornament near the feet. Another person's hand, in a green garment sleeve, reaches in from the lower edge. The feet appear to belong to a person being honoured, but no face is visible and no identity is established from the image.
