A photograph of a pair of ornate gold sandals resting on a silver tray with pink flowers tucked at their heads, placed on a white cloth on the floor. Behind them stand a silver kalasha-style vessel, a silver spoon and bowls, a small dish of red kumkum, a dish with a yellow sweet, and folded orange cloth. Orange and white flower garlands lie at the left edge. The scene suggests a padapuja offering of sacred footwear. No people are visible.
