A man with long dreadlocked hair and a red-orange robe with a gold waist sash stands at the base of a large golden Durga deity murti, offering flowers with his right hand. He wears a red and white flower garland, a gold armband, and a gold bangle. The murti has ten arms, a crown with a golden halo, a red sari with gold border, and a garland of pink and yellow flowers. Behind him is a world map on a wall with printed numbers, and a few other people in orange and saffron clothing and white head wraps stand nearby, with a tray of offerings on a railing. A white tent canopy overhangs the scene. The image appears to show a Navaratri Durga puja at an ashram.
