A photograph of a festival stage with large painted clay murtis of Durga, seated on a lion, flanked by Saraswati with a veena and Ganesha, all draped in yellow marigold garlands with golden halo backdrops. A man with long dark hair, wearing a red-brown dhoti and a pink-and-white garland, sits on a silver ornate throne at the right while a woman in a white-and-yellow sari with a garland stands beside him. In the foreground, a woman in a rust-coloured sari gestures toward the throne, and devotees in orange and saffron shawls sit in rows along the bottom edge. Pink and red drapes, a silver kalasha-topped canopy and brass lamps surround the altar under a white tent.
