A photo of a padapuja-style foot ritual on a gold-rimmed tray. A woman in a pale mint-green sari and bangles pours milk from a silver bowl over a pair of bare feet resting on the tray. Red and pink flowers, white petals and silver bowls with offerings surround the feet. A corner of a magenta cloth and a person's dark hair appear at the edges. No face of the feet's owner is visible, and no one present can be identified as a person from the visible cues.
