Photo of a Navaratri puja at an indoor temple setting with a large, richly decorated Durga murti in the centre, eight-armed and holding a trident, seated on a lion, flanked by Ganesha and other deity murtis on silver thrones with gold and yellow embroidered backdrops. Three priests sit on a striped cloth in front of the altar: one bare-chested man with a sacred thread, one in an orange dhoti, and one in a reddish-brown wrap seen from behind, performing the worship. Brass vessels, bowls of fruit, betel leaves, flowers, a large drum-like pot and a basket of offerings lie on the floor. Strings of coloured lights and pink drapes decorate the ceiling.
