A festival shrine with large painted clay deity murtis dominating the scene: a multi-armed goddess with a weapon in hand standing on a lion, and flanking figures of a goddess with a veena and another with a lotus, all draped in yellow and red garlands with gold-embellished halos. In the right foreground a seated man in a red-and-gold garment and pink flower garland sits on an ornate silver-and-gold throne with hands folded. A younger man in an orange cloth stands nearby beside a brass oil lamp, and small oil lamps and marigold heaps fill the altar in front, with a yellow-edged square yantra-like platform in the centre. A white canopy tent covers the pandal.
