Close-up photo of a green liquid being poured from a metal vessel onto a bare foot resting in a steel basin. The liquid is bright green, and the basin catches the spill. The foot appears to be a devotee's or priest's foot being bathed, possibly in an abhishekam-style ritual. A black-and-white zebra-striped cloth lies beneath the basin. No face is visible, and no identifiable person is shown.
