A photograph of a festival utsava murti on a gilded ornate palanquin or vahana, a golden peacock-like bird figure at the front. The central deity figure wears a tall crown, a jewelled breastplate and holds a spear and staff; two smaller consort figures sit on either side, all draped in garlands of red, white, yellow and green flowers. Golden arches, a fringed canopy and gold-toned drapery frame the scene. No living people are visible; the figures are statues.
