A photograph of a padapuja ritual in progress. A figure in saffron-orange robes sits with feet resting on a large round brass plate, and a devotee's hands with a red-tinted fingers reach toward the plate, which holds white flower petals, green leaves, a small brass vessel and offerings. A dark-haired woman in a red patterned top leans in from the right, and a child in white is partly visible at the left edge. A red cloth covers the surface beneath the plate, with a gold-coloured object in the background.
