A large golden Durga murti with many arms stands on a raised platform under a tent of pink fabric and corrugated roofing. The goddess holds a trident, a bow and other weapons, with white flower garlands around her neck. In front of her on the stairs, a person with long dark dreadlocked hair wears a rust-red wrap and stands with their back to the camera, holding a silver railing. Two people in the lower left, one bare-chested with beaded necklaces and one with hair in a bun, sit near the statue. A digital clock reads 11:27 and a camera on a tripod is visible at right. Decorative golden arches with painted faces frame the murti.
