Close view of a pada puja: bare feet in an orange-bordered saffron garment rest on a gold-embossed platform among silver trays. The trays hold small silver bowls of yellow liquid, white flowers, red rose petals and kumkum-like powder, with silver ladles and pouring vessels. Rose petals and white blossoms are scattered over the feet. Beside the trays, people in white garments and rudraksha malas sit at the edge of the frame. The feet belong to a person in a saffron dhoti-style wrap; their identity is uncertain from the image alone.
