Blurry close-up photograph of a garlanded shrine at a Bonalu celebration, with a large golden lion-faced deity image above and a smaller devi murti in red and white below. Marigold and red flower garlands, green leaves and a pink-and-white floral arrangement decorate the shrine. Two heads of people in the foreground are partly visible, one in dark hair and one in a pink and orange sari with a mirrored border. A man in a red turban and pink garment, possibly a painted or printed portrait, appears at left among the garlands, and orange cloth is visible at lower left.
