A photograph of a large Durga murti installed on a stepped stone platform outdoors, with trees behind. The goddess has many arms holding weapons and stands with a roaring lion beside her, while she battles a dark green demon figure. Flanking figures include Ganesha in pink and gold on one side and Saraswati with a veena on the other, with more deities in white and silver lace ornamentation above. The base is draped in blue cloth. In front stand several decorated pots (kalasha) wrapped in red, purple and green cloth and garlanded with yellow marigolds and red flowers, with a central pot crowned with a coconut-like top. A square fire pit filled with ash sits in the foreground beside silver vessels and a silver lamp. Two people in white clothing are visible in the background, one at left in white with a red shawl and one at right in white.
