A large gilded Devi Durga murti dominates the right side, with yellow skin, a third eye, a gold crown with green and white beadwork, and an ornate gold-and-green embroidered costume decorated with white jasmine garlands tied with red, yellow and green ribbons. She holds a long golden trident-like staff and a weapon in her hands. In the lower left a person with long dreadlocked hair and a red-and-white floral garland over the shoulder sits facing away, near a second gilded deity figure with multiple blue-faced heads in a golden halo. Pink drapery and metal railings frame the temple hall. This is a photograph of a Navaratri Durga murti darshan at Adhi Kailasa.
