A close photograph of a padapuja ritual. A person in orange robes stands with a garland of pink and white lotus-like flowers hanging from the waist down to the feet. A hand in a white sleeve reaches toward a silver tray on a red cloth, holding gold-coloured beads, red flowers and a yellow flower. A gold ornate chair or throne is visible behind. Only the orange-clad figure's legs and feet and the hand are visible, so the presentation of the feet is the focus.
