Close-up of a pair of bare feet being worshipped in a padapuja ritual. A figure's feet, with a gold anklet set with stones and a strand of rudraksha beads on one ankle, rest on a silver tray. Around them lie yellow marigold petals, red roses and white flowers. Behind, silver bowls and a kalasha-like vessel hold offerings and flowers on a gold-toned cloth. A silver footwear-shaped item and a flower-decorated plate sit in the lower foreground. Only the feet and ankles are visible, so no face is shown.
