A photo of an offering arrangement on an ornate gold-toned altar or throne in front of a heavily embossed gold backdrop. Silver bowls and plates are arranged in tiered rings holding red roses, yellow marigold petals and white flowers. A central heap of red and yellow flowers and a white floral garland sit among the bowls, with silver pots and a silver vessel with a leaf sprig on the right. No people are visible, so the scene shows ritual flower offerings laid out before the seat.
