Photograph of a festival scene at night in front of a flower-decorated altar. Two large gilded deity murtis stand at left and centre: a male figure in a teal and gold robe with a golden turban and trident-like staff, and a female figure in a red and gold gown with a veil and gold jewellery, holding a flower. A living man at right wears a cream-gold embroidered kurta and a cream turban with a red shawl, raising his hands near the murtis as petals scatter through the air. Marigolds and red flowers frame the altar behind them.
