Photograph of a silver deity murti lying disassembled on a dark blue cloth in an open-sided shelter with corrugated metal walls. Two shaved-headed men in rust-orange dhoti-style wraps with gold borders and rudraksha malas stand behind it, one holding small objects in his hands and the other holding a stick-like item; neither wears the distinctive long hair or ornate attire of a candidate. Behind them a row of onlookers, some in red shawls and white lanyards, watches. A man in a white dhoti stands at left. Garlands hang from a pole at right. The silver figure has elaborate floral engraving, a long spear-like shaft across its torso, and several separated limbs and parts.
