Close-up photo of a seated figure's bare feet resting on a tiger-striped cloth seat, from a padapuja ritual. The figure wears a rust-orange dhoti or robe with gold borders, and the feet stand on two dark ornate wooden footstools or padukas. The background is a gold-embossed metal panel. Scattered yellow flowers or fruit lie near the feet, with a long ceremonial staff visible at left. No face or upper body is shown, so no person can be identified from this frame. Pada-puja is the ritual of worshipping a guru's feet.

Only bare feet and the hem of orange-red robes are visible at the top, standing on a raised platform. In front lies a tiger-striped cloth on the dais with white flower petals scattered around its base. A tall polished metal kalasha-style vessel stands at right, and a metal rod rises at left. Pink and purple stage lighting washes over the scene. The visible figure is partially shown, so no face or full appearance is available; the person is not identifiable from this frame, so this is a stage setting with a person standing on a throne-like dais.2013-03-06
