Photograph of a night puja inside a tented temple hall decorated with white and pink draping. Large colourful statues of deities stand behind an altar: a central multi-armed goddess with weapons riding a lion, flanked by two ornate arched shrines holding female deity murti in yellow and gold garments with yellow garlands, and a pink-faced elephant-headed deity on the left. A seated figure in white and gold with a red-orange garland sits at a silver-topped throne-like seat before the altar. Near the altar, a figure in a dark red-brown dhoti stands at right holding a lamp, while in the foreground several people in saffron-orange headwear and white clothing sit on the floor facing the altar, with a few seated devotees and a man in orange at lower left. Flower garlands, a silver kalasha-like finial and brass lamps are on the altar table, and a red digital clock shows the time at top.
