The wearer's orange-saffron lower garment is visible above. Beneath the tray is a pink and red brocade cloth with gold patterns, and a leopard-print mat lies behind. The scene looks like a padapuja, where a devotee's feet are honoured with flowers. Only feet and lower garment are visible, so no face or identity can be determined; a partial figure on the left shows a bare leg in blue jeans.October 18 20102010-10-18 +2 copiesOctober 18 20102010-10-18 +2 copiesAugust 15 20092009-08-15October 06 20102010-10-06
