A photograph of a ritual at a temple pavilion under white tent fabric. In the foreground, a figure with long dreadlocked black hair, wearing a red-orange cloth and a red and white flower garland over the head, holds a brass tray of pink petals and a long golden rod, facing a large decorated deity murti of Devi Durga. The murti has a yellow face, large painted eyes, an ornate golden crown and embroidered gold bodice, adorned with white and pink flower garlands. Two women in white and red saris stand at the left edge near a painted banner. The setting suggests a Navaratri darshan at the shrine.
