A photograph of a Navaratri puja at an outdoor temple pavilion under a corrugated roof. A priest in a rust-red dhoti and a white-bead garland stands at left, holding a bell and offering items, while a young attendant in an orange robe faces him. Behind them stand large decorated deity murtis: a multi-armed goddess with a red garment and a lion mount, a golden goddess playing a veena, and a male figure in yellow-and-blue robes holding a staff. At right, a seated man in a rust-red garment with a yellow-and-white flower garland sits on a tiger-striped seat beneath an ornate silver canopy, hands folded in prayer. Marigolds and rose petals cover the floor, with brass oil lamps and a silver bowl in front.
