November 10 20132013-11-10Close-up photograph of a pair of bare feet standing on a gold ceremonial tray during a pada puja foot-worship ritual. The feet rest on a gold-coloured plate decorated with red roses, pink roses, white jasmine blossoms and green leaves, with two small gold ornamental stands with red stone tops set beside them. A bowl of yellow liquid sits at the upper left and a silver vessel at the lower left. Only the feet and the hem of a gold-coloured garment are visible; no face is shown, so the person is not identifiable from this image.2014-04-20July 05 20172017-07-05 +1 copiesJune 12 20142014-06-12 +1 copiesFebruary 06 20142014-02-06A photograph from above of a gold yoni-peetha shaped altar tray decorated with a dense border of red and pink roses and yellow marigold petals around a gold Shivalinga-style base.

A silver vessel with flowers sits at the right edge and a small silver bowl at top left. The feet are the focus; the rest of the frame is flower petals and metalwork. No face is visible.2013-06-24Close-up photograph of a bare foot resting on a gold-rimmed ornate plate filled with pink, red and yellow rose petals and a white frangipani flower. The foot is adorned with a garland of pink roses, white flowers and gold beads wrapped around the ankle. A small gold vessel sits among the petals, and a golden surface with a silver tray is visible in the blurred background. This appears to be a padapuja, the ritual washing and honouring of a person's feet with flowers. Only a foot and ankle are visible, so the person cannot be counted or identified.2017-07-26July 05 20172017-07-05 +1 copiesOctober 03 20142014-10-03May 20 20132013-05-20July 05 20172017-07-05 +1 copies
