A photograph of a lit temple-style display at night. A central figure stands in an illuminated niche holding a tall trident, wearing a maroon-red garment, a gold necklace and a gold crown-like headdress, with a face painted white. Flanking the niche are two large orange-toned statues with multiple arms holding ritual items. Strings of fairy lights hang behind the central figure, with brass lamps and oil lamps at the base and a warm green and orange colour wash. The central figure appears to be a statue or deity murti rather than a living person.
