Photograph of a large yellow-faced Devi (Durga) murti with black hair, ornate gold and silver crown and jewelled garments, holding a trident-like staff. In the foreground, a figure with long dark hair and a green-and-orange marigold garland, wearing a rust-orange robe and rudraksha bracelets, offers a steel plate of rice and flowers to the murti. Behind them, a white tent canopy and a decorated pink and gold arch frame the puja setting. Only the back of the figure is visible, so the figure cannot be identified from appearance and is treated as a devotee or priest.
