Navaratri puja scene in a covered hall with large painted clay deity murtis: a pink-faced Ganesha at left, a multi-armed goddess with a trident and weapons at centre, a lion mount beside her, and other ornate gold-halo murtis behind. Several young girls in red and green ethnic dress with flower garlands sit on silver-framed seats around a yellow-banded homa/yagna pit with lit oil lamps and flower offerings on the striped floor. A barefoot priest in red-brown dhoti stands at left. At right, a seated man in an orange-red garment with a marigold garland sits on a silver throne under a silver canopy; his appearance is not clearly identifiable, so the role is described only as a seated man.
