Close view of a ceremonial puja arrangement: a pair of bare feet rests on a golden throne-like platform above a large circular tray. Around them are ornate engraved silver bowls and vessels filled with pink and red rose petals, white plumeria flowers, red roses, green leaves, yellow sweet paste and saffron-coloured liquid. A small silver kalasha-style vessel and a silver spouted pot stand among the offerings. The setting is a padapuja-style offering with flowers and silver vessels; no people's faces are visible and no identity can be confirmed from the feet alone.
