A photograph of a large, richly decorated yellow-faced deity murti of Durga, wearing an ornate gold crown, red sari with gold embroidery and yellow marigold garlands, holding a trident and other weapons. Beside it stands a single man with long matted dreadlocks, a white tilak on his forehead, a red robe and a pink flower garland. He reaches out to touch the lion mount with one hand while his other arm rests near the statue. A turquoise figure is partly visible at lower right, and a tent canopy overhead suggests a temporary pandal setting.
