A photograph of a floral shrine set up under a white tent. A large printed portrait of a figure seated on a gold throne is framed by arches of marigolds and roses in red, yellow and white garlands. The figure wears a white garment with a gold-bordered shawl and a long necklace. The ground in front is covered with red and pink petals, and brass oil lamps stand at the sides.
