A photograph of a festival scene with three deity murtis seated on ornate, mirror-embroidered thrones under golden arched canopies and colourful umbrellas. The central murti wears a pink and gold skirt, a jewelled crown, a red and white garland and holds a sceptre. Flanking murtis wear yellow and green garments and garlands. In the foreground a standing man in orange saffron clothing and a saffron turban, bare-shouldered with a saffron shawl, extends his arm toward the central murti. Small brass oil lamps and white flowers sit on the altar before the figures, and palm trees rise behind the procession.
