A photograph of a deity murti group decorated with heavy garlands of red, yellow, white and purple flowers, set in an ornate gold arched shrine. The central figure wears jewelled necklaces and a green-and-gold garment, flanked by two smaller murtis adorned with garlands and necklaces. Behind them hang a deep maroon cloth and an orange cloth. In the foreground, two priests in white dhotis with gold borders sit on the ground; the one on the left speaks into a microphone, while the one on the right, with a green head wrap and rudraksha mala, sits beside brass vessels, a kalasha and lamps. The scene suggests a puja at night.
