Navaratri puja at a temple with large decorated murti figures of goddesses under ornate golden and jewelled arches with blue painted discs. The central goddess holds a trident-like staff and multiple arms, wears a red sari and crown, and stands beside a lion and a blue-skinned figure. In the foreground, a bare-chested priest in an orange-brown cloth and rudraksha-style beads holds a brass tray of dried red chillies. To the right, a man in a brown-orange dhoti with a yellow and pink flower garland and a gold armband stands beside him. A corrugated roof and pink fabric frame the setting.
