A photograph of a large, ornately decorated golden Durga murti with a yellow face, many arms and a crown, set in a temporary open-sided pandal under a corrugated roof. A long-haired man with a long beard wears a red-maroon dhoti, a red and white flower garland, gold armbands and bangles, and holds a brass plate of pink flowers toward the deity while a trident-bearing arm of the murti is nearby. Two shirtless attendants in orange cloth and rudraksha malas stand below the platform, one holding the plate and another holding a small brass vessel. Pink and white flower offerings are visible at the base, and a loudspeaker and camera are on the right. Two people are visible in the scene.
