The devotee's hand rests on a gilded ornate pedestal decorated with a red, yellow and green flower garland. Nearby, a woman with long braided hair in an orange top stands beside a metal pot, and a white cloth bundle. The setting suggests a padapuja or devotional darshan.

The devotee's hands clasp the feet while the bowed head rests on a large ornate gold tray with raised concentric designs scattered with pink and yellow flower petals. A white-clad attendant stands at the left edge and a white cushioned seat is at right. The scene reads as a padapuja, the ritual washing and honouring of the feet. The orange-clad figure is partially visible from the waist down with the upper body cropped out, so no a person identification is possible.2010-07-24December 21 20102010-12-21July 08 20172017-07-08 +1 copiesA devotee in a white dhoti and shawl with a gold border bends forward with forehead pressed against a large golden deity murti decorated with yellow, purple and red flower garlands and a beaded bead-garland.
