Photo of a Navaratri Golu-style display at an outdoor temple setting. Large painted deity murtis stand under decorative fabric: a blue-skinned figure holding a trident and a lion beside it, a tall yellow-robed goddess with a crown and raised hand, and a gold-clad female figure holding a sword. Several women in saris, including a seated one in orange with a flower garland, sit in the foreground beside brass oil lamps, and a shaved-headed man in a red-brown dhoti stands among flower petals and offerings. On the right, a seated man in red-brown dhoti with a white flower garland and folded hands sits on a silver-decorated seat beside an ornate silver stand. Flower garlands, marigolds and colourful cloth cover the floor.
