Night procession photo with a large illuminated clay murti of Durga, multi-armed and crowned, riding a snarling lion and standing over a blue-skinned demon figure. The goddess wears a red and gold sari, yellow face and a jeweled crown, holding weapons and a trident-like staff. In the foreground on a vehicle, a smiling man in a brown-orange robe wears a long white and multicoloured flower garland and rudraksha beads, seated beside a shirtless man in an orange cloth who steers. The scene reads as a Vijaya Dashami procession. Two people are visible.
