A photograph of a large deity murti draped in pink and white cloth with a blue lower garment, wearing a crown and adorned with yellow and red flower garlands. Tall brass oil lamps (lamp stands) with lit wicks flank the image on both sides. A seated figure in a red robe and red head covering sits in front of the murti with a brass plate and offerings before them, and a microphone stands nearby. No identifiable a person cues are clear enough to confirm presence; the seated person is wearing a red robe and red head covering with a gold pendant, and the figure's face is not visible.
