Close-up photo of a pair of bare feet in a padapuja setting, resting on an ornate gold-embossed tray. The feet emerge from orange saffron-coloured robes at the top. Pink lotus flowers are placed around and on the feet, and silver bowls holding white flowers, a red apple and a silver vessel surround them on the tray. No faces are visible, so no one can be identified; the scene shows the feet being honoured with flowers and offerings.
