A padapuja ritual in progress: a figure in an orange-red robe is seated on a golden throne-like seat with a silver-and-gold tray at the feet, while hands pour water from a golden cup over the feet, which are partly covered in plastic. Flowers in pink, yellow and white and scattered red petals lie on the tray. Another person wearing bangles and golden bracelets assists with the washing, and green leaves frame the scene behind. Only hands, arms and parts of the robed figure are visible.

August 15 20092009-08-15Padapuja ritual: two bare feet of a person wearing an orange garment with gold border rest in a silver tray filled with flower petals, including white, yellow, pink and purple blooms. Two hands pour water from golden cups over the feet; one hand wears gold bangles and a ring. A gold-covered table and ornate gold surface surround the tray. Only feet and hands are visible, so the person's identity cannot be determined from the image.2009-08-18August 15 20092009-08-15August 15 20092009-08-15August 15 20092009-08-15August 16 20092009-08-16August 15 20092009-08-15August 16 20092009-08-16August 15 20092009-08-15August 26 20092009-08-26Close photograph of a seated figure draped in orange saffron cloth with gold border, wearing a garland of green leaves and pink flowers across the chest.

In the foreground, a hand in white sleeve pours or offers from a gold cup into a silver-toned tray containing pink flowers, green leaves and small brass items; another hand is partly visible at the right edge. The figure's face is not visible, so no identification is made.2009-08-13August 08 20092009-08-08
