A padapuja-style offering centred on a pair of bare feet placed on a red rose-petal bed in front of a gold-toned vessel holding white and pink flowers and gold lamps. Around it, several ornate silver-toned bowls and trays hold orange liquid, rose and marigold petals, and green leaves, with silver spoons and a silver ladle-shaped vessel. The ornate gold-patterned base beneath the trays suggests a ritual arrangement.
