Close photo of a padapuja ritual. Several hands in white and lavender sleeves, wrists with red and green bangles, hold golden cups over a brass tray filled with yellow marigold and pink petals. Beside them, a figure in saffron-orange robes stands with bare feet on the tray, which holds water and flower offerings. A gold ornamental edge of a ceremonial seat appears at the right. Only partial bodies are visible, so the number of people is uncertain.
