Man I would KILL (hehe) to be that photographer... The highest battlefield on the planet! Thats just truly something!
Hmmm quite a few Sardar jis. Shouldn't they be using people more suited for the climate like these:
I think someone needs to remind the PR bloke that you're not supposed to commemorate pictures with flowers according to Islamic tradition. Just wanted to put all the Gods in one place eh? :D Looks symbolically good I know... so Just the name would've sufficed.

There aint anything PR about it.
The Indian soldier is religious.Such places of worship are found in many armed forces establishments.
And oh , get out of your 7th century mindset about flowers et all.Its OK.

Asim,
Military bases on India have all faith shrines, or ones that are side by side.I think the garland may have been put by an ignoramus for the purpose of the photograph.
cheers,
