September 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesPhotograph of a large decorated deity murti of Durga in a temple pandal, with a golden crown, many arms holding weapons including a trident and a conch-like object, a red and gold sari, yellow marigold garlands and a lion at its base. To the left, a man with long dark hair and a dark beard, wearing a maroon-red wrap and a pink-and-white flower garland, stands with palms pressed together in prayer, eyes closed. The shawl and garland mark him as a devotee; the photo does not establish his identity. Ornate yellow and green decorations frame the scene under a white tent ceiling.2017-09-28 +1 copiesSeptember 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesA photograph inside a decorated temple pavilion showing a large colourful Durga murti with a yellow and gold crown, multiple arms holding weapons including a trident, a red sari, a lion mount, yellow marigold garlands and a turquoise figure at its base. At left, a man with long dark hair and a red-brown dhoti and shawl, wearing a pink flower garland and gold armlets, stands with palms pressed together in prayer, possibly performing puja before the murti.

On the left, a man with long dark hair, a white forehead mark, a red garment, a pink flower garland and gold armbands bends forward smiling, offering a small pink object toward the murti's base. Yellow marigold garlands drape the statue, and a white fabric canopy and stage lights overhead suggest a temple or festival pandal. The man's appearance shows some cues but is not distinctive enough to confirm identity.2017-09-28September 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesSeptember 27 20172017-09-27 +2 copiesSeptember 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesA large painted deity murti of a goddess with a yellow face, multiple arms and an ornate gold and green embellished crown and garments, wearing a red sari with gold embroidery, yellow marigold garlands draped over her body, standing above a fierce carved lion.
