Close-up photo of a person's bare feet on a wet, dark rock outdoors, being washed with water poured from a polished brass pot held in the right hand. The person wears a red garment with a gold border, and gold bangles are visible on the wrist. Water splashes around the feet, and pink lotus flowers rest on the rock in the lower right corner, with green foliage behind. This appears to be a paada pooja foot-washing ritual.
