I don't believe those are "altars" in the sense that you're implying, as if people are worshipping him. They are ofrendas [0] which are part of the Day of the Dead celebrations. My understanding is that they are usually reserved for loved ones but beloved public figures are included as well. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ofrenda https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ofrenda
