A photograph inside a decorated temple pandal showing a large Durga murti in the centre, with a lion mount, multiple arms holding weapons and a trident, and yellow marigold garlands. Flanking deity murtis with gold-ornamented halos stand on either side, one holding a veena. A man seated on an ornate silver throne with a tiger-striped cushion, wearing a maroon dhoti, pink-and-white flower garland and gold armlets, sits to the right facing the deities. Marigold garlands, brass lamps, a kalasha-like offering pit and banana leaves fill the foreground. A small clock shows a time overlay. a person: the seated man has long swept-back hair and ornate ceremonial garlands and gold jewellery on a throne, with a dhoti rather than saffron, so the identification is uncertain.
