A photograph of a Navaratri ritual at a temple setting under a white canvas canopy. Large, richly ornamented deity murti of Devi Durga with golden crowns, garlands of white and pink flowers, and yellow, pink and red garments dominate the frame. A figure in a rust-red dhoti with a red and white garland stands on a white metal ladder, reaching up to the deity while holding a long golden staff. Beside him, a devotee in an orange cloth with a bare back holds a brass tray of flowers and offerings. Other murtis with golden halos stand behind, and a loudspeaker hangs from the canopy.
