Close-up photograph of a person's bare feet resting on a polished gold-coloured tray decorated with a scalloped border. Scattered among the feet are fresh flowers: red blossoms, pink petals and yellow marigold-like flowers. The foreground foot shows wrinkled skin and a visible sole, and a saffron-orange cloth edge appears at the top of the frame. The setting suggests a padapuja, a ritual washing or worship of the feet, with flowers offered around them. No face is visible.
