Close view of a bare foot resting on a silver tray shaped like an elephant's head with a curled trunk. The tray holds yellow marigold petals, white flowers and a small golden kalasha-style pot. The foot wears an orange-and-gold garment at the top edge. Below sits a red velvet cushion on a gold-coloured base, with red and brown tiger-stripe fabric behind. This appears to be a padapuja, a ritual of honouring the feet, with no face visible.
