Close view of bare feet of a person in saffron orange clothing seated before a padapuja arrangement on a gold-embossed cloth. A yellow marigold garland with green leaves wraps around the ankle. Surrounding silver thali trays hold small silver bowls, kumkum, a pink lotus flower with green leaves, and small gold oil lamps with flame-shaped tops. The foot ceremony suggests padapuja. Only the feet and lower legs are visible, so no face or full figure is shown.
