A photograph outside a building entrance shows an open white SUV tailgate with a garlanded deity murti seated inside on the rear seat, draped in blue and purple cloth and flower garlands. In front, a person in an orange shawl with red border stands with their back to the camera, and a woman in a green top holds a silver tray with a lamp and small vessel. A woman in a maroon-and-gold sari holds a small jar beside the vehicle. Behind them, several people stand near a glass doorway, one holding a white flag on a pole. The scene appears to be a ceremonial transport of the murti.
