Their straps are ribbed and their soles textured, with round knob posts between the toes. Red rose petals lie in front of them, and a small jewelled cushion-box and a small potted plant with green leaves stand at the sides.

A pair of ornate gold-plated sandals, called paduka, lie side by side on an orange and gold brocade cloth. Each sole is richly embossed with floral scrollwork, a central lotus or yantra-like motif, and beaded borders, with a small pink gemstone-topped knob at the centre of each sole. No people are visible; the sandals serve as a ritual object in a padapuja-style setting.

A pair of gold-coloured wooden padukas (sacred sandals) rests on a maroon cushion woven with gold floral brocade. Yellow and pink rose petals are scattered across the footbeds, with a fresh pink rose lying between them, and small ornamental discs with pink-tinged powder are set on the soles. The image shows no people, and the sandals are set on a bare floor surface in the background.

A small silver box with a crystal or jewelled lid sits at the right, and a tiny potted plant with white blossoms sits at the left. No people are visible. This appears to be a padapuja-style offering of flowers to sacred footwear.
