Close view of a padapuja ritual: a seated figure in orange-saffron robes has bare feet resting on a polished silver tray scattered with red and pink rose petals, small brass cups and yellow and white flowers. A hand adorned with a gold bangle and gold ring pours liquid from a small gold vessel over the feet, which glisten with the liquid. Another person in white sleeves reaches in from the left edge, and a gold-embellished ornate surface is behind.
