Close overhead view of a padapuja arrangement: a pair of bare feet in maroon garments rests on a golden-brass platform bordered with marigolds and pink roses. Around the feet, silver thalis hold small silver bowls filled with orange and yellow offerings, flower petals and marigold garlands, with a silver spoon and a kalasha-style vessel. Ornate gold-patterned cloth lies beneath. No people are visible beyond the feet, which are not identifiable.
