Photograph of a festive temple-style setting with large decorated deity murtis. At right, a multi-armed goddess with a lion mount and a trident-like staff stands in a golden halo, wearing a red garment and yellow-and-white garlands. Beside her, a second golden deity figure with a crown and a blue-skinned figure are garlanded with marigolds. Banana leaves and a large banana plant frame the scene, with brass lamps and a pile of flower garlands on the floor. On the left, a bare-chested man in a rust-brown dhoti and a long beaded mala stands near a cameraman with a tripod. A green coconut and a bowl of flowers sit on a cloth in front.
