Close photo of bare feet in orange robes resting on a striped green, pink and blue mat. Two hands are cradling or holding the feet, and two gold padukas (sandal-shaped foot ornaments) with small red-tipped knobs sit beneath them. One person wears a black wristwatch and a black strap, and another wears a beaded bracelet and a silver ring. Padapuja worship of the feet is visible. The image appears to show two or more people in close contact with the feet, but the feet are the only identifiable body parts; no face or full figure is visible.
