Close-up photo of two pairs of bare feet on a green banana leaf on a brick floor during a ritual. The feet are smeared with yellow turmeric paste and dotted with red flower petals. A hand holds a brass plate of red petals at upper right, and another hand dips into a small bowl at lower right. Men in white dhotis with yellow borders stand at left, and a person in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits at right. Only the lower legs and hands are visible, so the people are partly cropped.
