Close-up photo of a padapuja ritual. In the left foreground, bare feet in an orange-saffron garment rest on a large ornate gilded tray. A man in a gold-beige silk kurta with a patterned shawl leans in and places a white flower or offering on the tray among red and orange roses and marigolds. Beside him, a silver platter holds sliced fruit, red petals and a small pot. Gilded ornamentation fills the tray. The orange-clad figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so no a person candidate is asserted.
