A mirrored frame is placed around ShriNathji and a pichoi of plantains and flowering bush is hung at the back.

I like all the different shades of white in this room accented with wood and different patterns. The tent pavilion is “interesting”, in that I’m a New Englander and can’t imagine seeing one in the Northeast. Kudos to the brave soul who decided to put all of these beautiful furnishings and antiques under a tent.
