Close-up photo of a bare foot resting on a golden plate heaped with fresh flowers: yellow marigold-type blooms, pink and red roses, and white petals. A garland of pink lotus-like flowers, white jasmine strands and gold beads is draped over the ankle. Two hands, one holding a small silver bowl, pour milk over the foot in a padapuja-style ritual offering. Gold ornate metalwork and a brass lamp appear in the background. No faces are visible, so the person being honoured cannot be determined from the image.
