The left panel shows bare feet in orange-saffron robes resting on a bed of red rose petals and marigold-like flowers, with a brass or gold lamp beside them, a puja offering at the feet. The right panel shows two women with hands joined in namaskar in front of their chest, wearing saffron-orange robes, with a decorated golden backdrop behind them. The collage is graphic and the figures are depicted in the photographs, not physically present.

A person in white clothing with a rudraksha mala and a wristwatch pours water from a pink flower-decorated vessel over the bare feet of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes. The bare feet rest in a golden bowl containing flower petals and offerings. The setting suggests a padapuja honouring a guru, though the seated figure's face is not visible.
