He wears a red-brown dhoti, multiple gold necklaces, a red-and-white flower garland, and gold bangles, with a bindi on his forehead. Beside the staircase, young assistants in saffron-orange clothes and rudraksha malas hold a tray of petals and assist with the ritual. The Durga murti has a golden crown, red sari, garlands of white and multicolour flowers, and a lion beneath it. A camera on a tripod and a world-map banner appear in the background under a white canopy, with a few other devotees in the scene.
