Close photograph of a padapuja foot-worship ritual. A bare foot in an orange-saffron garment rests on a gold tray scattered with red and pink rose petals, while a hand in a white sleeve, wearing a gold bangle, washes or offers petals to the foot. Silver bowls hold red apples, petals and liquid around the tray. The person whose feet are being worshipped is not shown above the ankle; the visible figure is only the feet and wrist, so no face or identity is discernible.

Silver bowls and plates hold an apple, white jasmine flowers, pink lotus blossoms and gold ornaments, with a silver cup nearby. Only the lower body and feet of one person are visible; a blurred yellow-clad figure appears at the lower right, and a hand holding a silver cup is at the top right. The orange-robed figure cannot be confirmed as a person from visible cues alone, so the identity is left unsure.2010-10-24
