Close-up photograph of a pair of bare male feet resting on a gold-coloured metal tray during a foot-washing ritual, padapuja. Red roses, pink flowers and white blossoms surround the feet, with gold bead garlands or bells in the foreground. An orange cloth lies at the top of the frame, and a figure in white is partly visible at the upper left. The feet are the only clearly visible body parts. No face is shown, so no identity can be determined from the image.
