Photograph of a temple shrine during Navaratri puja. A bare-chested priest in a white dhoti sits cross-legged on the floor at left, holding a small flame or lamp over a brass vessel on an orange cloth. Behind him stand several deity murtis: a bronze-toned goddess form in red and gold sari with flower garlands at centre, a standing dark deity with a tall crown and white floral garlands at right within a golden arch, and figures in blue and green at left. Marigold and white flower garlands drape the shrine, with red and white roses on brass vessels. Brass oil lamps stand in a row at right, a brass bell or lamp stand is at far right, and a bowl of red petals sits in front. Painted yellow and blue pillars frame the back of the shrine.
