A photograph of a large yellow-faced deity murti of a goddess with multiple arms, dressed in a white and gold sari and decorated with white jasmine and red flower garlands. In the foreground a figure with long matted dark locks, wearing an orange cloth and a flower garland over the shoulders, raises an arm to touch the murti's forehead in devotion. The murti holds weapons and a sword-like implement in its raised hands, set before a white ornate backdrop and a painted red panel with figures. A corrugated metal roof overhead suggests a temporary pandal setting.
