A temple-style puja setting for Navaratri with large painted murti of goddesses in gold, red and pink garments, one holding weapons beside a lion mount. A seated figure in white and saffron-hued clothing sits on an ornate silver throne at right, with a garland of yellow flowers around the neck. In front, a square homa or fire pit emits smoke, flanked by brass oil lamps, plates of yellow offerings and bowls of food. Striped cloth covers the floor and silver-framed seating stands at left. Statues of deities dominate the background, showing a figure with a veena and another with a staff.
