Close-up photo of a bare foot in an orange-red garment with a beaded anklet resting on a golden ornate ritual platform strewn with white jasmine petals and orange, red and yellow flowers. Beside it, a hand adorned with a bangle and tattoo reaches toward a round silver tray holding small silver bowls, a white shell and a fruit, while a golden kalasha-style vessel and small golden cups sit among the petals. Only a foot and hands are visible; the person's face is not shown. This appears to be a puja or padapuja offering setting.

Close-up photograph of a bare foot resting on a golden ritual tray strewn with white jasmine flowers and orange and red marigold and rose petals. The foot wears a red-brown rudraksha mala around the ankle and is draped in orange cloth with gold border at the edge. Around it sit silver bowls holding flowers, a white conch shell, a small brass kalasha-style vessel and a silver tray. The foot is the only visible body part, so the ceremony's participants are not identifiable in frame.2012-09-05January 15 20132013-01-15June 23 20172017-06-23 +1 copiesClose photo of a bare foot resting on a large silver-toned tray heaped with flowers and offerings.

Silver and gold ritual vessels surround them, including silver bowls with white flowers, a pink lotus, a red apple, a silver spouted vessel and small gold-topped containers.
