A photograph of a devotee in an orange-saffron robe bowing low before a large deity murti of Durga on a blue and gold base, surrounded by yellow marigold garlands. The goddess has multiple arms holding weapons and is seated on a lion, flanked by other figures including a green-skinned figure and a pink Ganesha-like figure. Brass lamps with a trident motif, a brass plate with petals, and red and gold cloth fill the foreground. The devotee's face is turned away from the camera, so no appearance-based a person candidate can be established.
