A photograph of a padapuja ritual in which hands pour milk from a silver vessel over bare feet resting on a golden tray. The feet are decorated with red and pink rose petals and a red flower garland. Silver bowls holding offerings, including sweets and petals, surround the tray, and small gold oil lamps sit nearby. Above, an ornate gold-embossed seat is partly visible, and a figure in orange robes sits behind the tray. Two people in white clothing are seen from behind at the lower edge, one wearing a gold bangle and ring. The scene is a foot-washing puja with milk abhishekam.
