Photo inside a temple hall during Navaratri worship before a large decorated Durga murti with multiple arms, a trident-like staff and a red sari, flanked by ornate gold-and-yellow arched backdrops holding Lakshmi-style and Saraswati-style murtis, plus a Ganesha figure on the left and a lion vahana and a blue-skinned figure at the centre. A bare-backed priest in a rust-orange dhoti and rudraksha mala holds a tray of dried red chillies toward the murtis. Beside him a bearded man in a yellow garland and red-orange cloth stands with palms joined in namaskar.
