Close-up photograph of a pair of bare feet resting on an ornate gold tray during a pada puja. The feet belong to a person whose orange-saffron robe is visible at the upper right. Scattered white jasmine flowers and red and yellow rose petals surround the feet. Two ornate gold vessels with ruby-topped finials stand on the tray, and polished silver bowls with water sit at the top edge. The scene is part of a pratyaksha pada puja, the worship of the feet. Only the feet and a sliver of robe are visible, so no face or full figure can be seen.

Close-up photograph of a seated figure's bare feet and lower legs wrapped in flowing saffron-orange cloth, resting on an ornate gold-leaf throne base with repoussé floral and scroll carving. Pink rose petals and white flower garlands lie on the gilded platform in front. Behind is a red velvet-upholstered seat and a gilded side panel. Only the feet and legs of one person are visible; no face or upper body appears, so identity cannot be established from appearance and the presence of a candidate is uncertain.
