A large pink and gold Ganesha murti sits on a raised pedestal inside a blue tent decorated with pink tinsel and hanging gold-and-red ornaments. Four men are setting up the idol: a man in an orange shirt reaches up to adjust it, a man in a light blue shirt stands at the left, a man in white shirt and dark trousers holds a hanging decoration at right, and a man in a plaid shirt stands at the far right. Fruit offerings, bananas, a kalasha-style vessel, brass lamps and small containers lie on a white cloth at the base. The scene reflects Ganesh Chaturthi preparations.
