A photograph of a decorated altar or palanquin-style seat with an ornate gold arched backrest carved with floral and animal motifs, set against red drapery. The seat is heaped with red roses, white jasmine garlands and green leaves. A silver kalasha or vessel with a mango-leaf and flower finial sits on the right, and a hand wearing a green bead bracelet holds a long ritual implement, possibly a tassel or cloth, over the offering. The setting is a bright outdoor tent or pavilion with blurred greenery behind. No clearly identifiable person is shown. A deity murti is not clearly visible.
