Close-up photograph of a bare-footed person in orange robes receiving a foot worship ritual. Their feet rest on a golden tray decorated with yellow and red flowers, with a small brass or gold kalasha-like vessel among the petals. Silver bowls hold flower petals and offerings around the tray. A hand in a silver bangle sprinkles or places flowers on the feet, with a bangled wrist and another partial figure visible at the right edge. This depicts padapuja, the ritual worship of the feet.
