Close-up photograph of a ceremonial decoration on a golden ornamental stand. Thick garlands of white jasmine, red roses and yellow marigolds hang from a gold arch topped with gold leaf-shaped finials and dangling green gemstone pendants. Green leaves are tucked between the garlands. Beside it stands a gold ritual vessel with a repoussé scale pattern, a gold lamp stand at the right, and a figure in a teal and gold garment at the upper left. A white cloth with red stripes lies below. The garlands and gold suggest a temple or festival setting. No people are clearly visible apart from a partially shown figure in patterned clothing.
