A close photograph of a padapuja ritual: a person in an orange robe with silver bangles pours milk from a silver vessel over a pair of bare feet resting on a golden tray. Around the feet are silver bowls with red apples, white flower petals, and silver ritual vessels, with a gold cloth background. A blurred figure with grey hair appears at the right edge. The feet are the focus, and the pouring liquid runs down over them.
