A photograph of a large white and red deity murti being finished in a temple-like setting. A figure in an orange and saffron robe with long, dark, wavy hair stands at left, reaching up with a thin brush to paint the face of the multi-armed goddess. The murti has a white ornate crown, white lace-patterned garments, many raised arms holding weapons, and a painted lion beside its base. A blue backdrop and fringed red-and-white canopy frame the scene. The figure has distinctive long hair and saffron robes, but the face is not clearly visible, so identity is uncertain; the role is a painter or artisan finishing the murti.
