A photograph of a Ganesh Chaturthi puja set up in a temporary shrine decorated with green and red cloth and colourful paper streamers. A clay murti of Ganesha sits on a rat vahana, garlanded with orange marigolds, with a red-and-yellow circular halo behind him. Three men sit on the blue plastic-covered floor: a young man in white kurta with an orange shawl offers flowers to the idol, while another man in white and a third in white with a bare foot hold oil lamps and offerings. Trays of marigold petals, fruits, betel and coconut lie in front, with a lit oil lamp on a blue pillar. Blue and white packaging-printed cloth hangs at the left.
