Night photograph at an outdoor temple-style setting with gold-painted pillars carved with figures. On the left, a figure with long, swept-back dark hair and a rust-orange garment, hands pressed together in anjali, faces a large blue-skinned deity murti with a white crown, long black hair and yellow-white flower garland, holding a red object and a trident-like arm raised. Two onlookers stand at the lower edge. A string of coloured lights hangs overhead beneath a corrugated roof, and a world map display with a counter reading 347 cities and 47 countries is mounted above.
