A large Durga murti dominates a decorated temple shrine, the goddess with multiple arms holding weapons, riding a golden-maned lion, framed by a golden arched prabhavali with a gold border. Flanking her are Ganesha with an elephant head and a pink body, and another goddess murti in yellow and green garments with a veena, all adorned with yellow marigold garlands. Below, a gold puja platform holds a brass vessel, flowers, a garland, oil lamps and offerings. A seated man in a dark red-brown dhoti and a pink-and-white flower garland, with a bare upper body and a bracelet, sits to the right beside silver ceremonial items. Colourful striped cloth and pink tent fabric surround the setting.
