A photo of a seated figure almost completely covered by heaped garlands and loose flower petals in white, pink and red, with a rainbow-like arc of yellow, purple, red and green marigold garlands behind. The figure wears a pink and gold turban and smiles. Attendants in white clothes stand on either side, one man in a white shirt and white dhoti holding a woven basket, a woman in white sari with a gold border holding another basket of flowers. Gold lamp stands and a golden canopy frame the scene, indicating a flower-offering ritual such as padapuja or abhishekam decoration in a temple-style hall.
