Close photograph of a bare foot in a golden ritual tray being worshipped by hands. A woman's hand with gold bangles and a silver ring holds a garland of red, white, yellow and purple flowers while another hand, with a rudraksha bead bracelet and wearing white, touches the foot. The foot wears orange-saffron robe fabric at the ankle, and the tray is filled with red and pink rose petals, a green leaf and gold-coloured ornaments. Whose foot it is cannot be determined from the image.
