A tented pandal displays a grouping of large painted clay deity murtis decorated with yellow and gold tinsel, garlands and flower strands. At centre a multi-armed goddess murti with a trident and red-and-gold drapery is flanked by Ganesha on the left and figures playing a veena and a sitar on the right, with a blue deity figure below. In front stands a man with a shaved head wearing a rust-brown dhoti and a long reddish-brown shawl, his back to the camera, holding a long staff upward toward the central murti. Brass oil lamps and lit lamps sit on the platform, banana leaves frame the left side, and a red digital clock on the tent beam shows 09:3x.
