Close-up photograph of a ceremonial padukas-style footwear or sandals placed on a tiger-striped fur mat over a brass tray. Sandals are dark with carved tan wooden fittings. Above them is a multi-strand rudraksha mala with silver spacer beads. Bright pink rose petals are scattered across the sandals and fur. In the foreground sits an ornate gold and jewelled pendant or shield set with white, red and green stones and hanging pearl drops. No people are visible; the scene shows a deity or sacred object adornment, consistent with temple alankaram.
