A photograph of a large golden-yellow Durga murti adorned with ornate gold and pink jewelled ornaments, a crown and a trident, surrounded by smaller decorative panels. In the foreground, a person with long dark matted hair, bare-backed and wearing a red-brown dhoti, stands on a metal staircase reaching toward the figure, adorned with a red and white floral garland and gold armlet. A white speaker horn is mounted on the tent ceiling above, and a digital clock displays 11:38:07 in red. Attribution of the person is uncertain from the image alone.
