A photograph of a festive hall with a white tented ceiling strung with small hanging lamps, red carpet and rows of white-covered chairs. In the centre stand two decorated deity murti with garlands: a standing figure in blue and gold with a blue-and-white patterned sash, and a seated figure in a golden-orange skirt with a crown, both in front of colourful umbrellas. Two large gold lamp-bearing figures flank the group, holding oil lamps, with a small brass pot and cups on a wooden tray in front. A few seated attendees are visible in the background, and the watermarked archive credit appears in the lower right corner, ignored here.
