A photo of a decorated altar setting lit with spotlights. A seated figure in orange-saffron robes with a red-and-orange headwrap sits at the centre of a flower-decorated throne canopy draped with a red cloth and strings of white and orange marigold garlands. Red and orange flowers cover the platform, and a garland hangs at the chest. Brass lamps and offering vessels sit in front, with a silver-decorated arch framing the scene. To the right, a deity murti with a crown and white-and-silver drapery stands under a floral arch. The page caption cites Krishna Janmashtami celebrations, but the visible scene shows an altar and garlands only, with no visible procession, dancing, or Tulabharam.
