A photograph of a large golden-yellow Durga murti with multiple arms, holding a spear and ornamented with gold jewellery, a crown and a red-and-gold halo with small faces. In front stands a bearded man with long dark hair, bare-chested with red-orange dhoti and a gold waist band, wearing a long red-and-white flower garland and gold necklaces and bangles, smiling with hands near the murti. Beside the metal railing, a younger man with long hair and rudraksha beads holds a silver plate, and another man in white ritual markings and orange cloth tends the offering. Metal stairs and a tent-covered hall frame the scene. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, gold necklaces and bangles and a shawl-like red garment mark the bearded man standing beside the murti.
