A photograph of a temple shrine decorated for a festival, with large painted clay deity murtis of goddesses in bright multicolored saris and yellow marigold garlands standing beside a lion vahana. A central yellow-garlanded goddess murti holds a sword-like weapon, and a seated figure in a red-and-white garment sits at right near a small shrine on a silver-and-white pedestal. In the foreground a man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged with hands folded, facing the altar. Brass lamps, a tall white candle, marigold garlands, flower offerings and a brass plate with bowls sit on the ground. Two standing attendants in white dhotis are visible near the back. A white cloth canopy covers the mandap. The scene reads as a puja or darshan at a deity shrine.

The central figures are goddess murti with multiple arms, yellow and red garments and yellow marigold garlands, one riding a lion. Flower garlands and petals fall in the air. On the right, a seated figure in an ornate silver throne with a white-and-red garland and orange-clad attendants stand nearby; the seated figure in dark red robes and a pink garland looks like a person in the throne seat but the appearance is uncertain. Brass oil lamps, a yellow water tray, and marigold offerings fill the foreground.2017-09-28September 28 20172017-09-28September 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesSeptember 28 20172017-09-28
