A photograph of an ornate deity murti display with a fierce lion and a green-skinned multi-armed figure holding a silver trident-like weapon with a metallic blade. The lion, mane brown and mouth open in a snarl, is at left beside a dark animal figure and a brass pot with yellow marigold garlands. Behind them, gold and red lamé drapery and a silver crown-like headdress frame the scene, with a white garland at the figure's chest. No living people are visible; the figures are statues and a painted background is present.
