A large yellow-gold Durga murti with many arms and a crown stands in an open-sided pandal. A bare-chested priest with long hair, wearing a red-maroon dhoti, stands at the right near the railing, his back to the camera, holding a small object. Near the murti, two younger bare-chested attendants with shaved heads and rudraksha-style beads raise a brass plate of flowers and offerings toward the goddess. Gold and yellow ornamental arches frame the scene, and a fan and loudspeaker hang from the ceiling. Several arms of the murti hold weapons, including a trident. A digital clock is visible at the top.
