A photograph of a large golden Durga murti on a raised platform inside a temple pandal with a pink fabric ceiling. The deity has yellow skin, a golden crown and multiple arms, one holding a trident and another raised. Two figures in the foreground perform ritual service: a bare-chested priest in an orange-brown dhoti pours or offers something from a small silver vessel near the murti's base, while a second person with long dark hair, wearing a maroon garment and a red-and-white patterned shawl, raises an arm holding a flower. Smoke or incense fills the air.
