A table altar arrangement with brass and metal figures on a grey pedestal. Left, a figure in a gold-embroidered beige satin garment with beaded rudraksha-style necklaces. Centre, a small metal figure in a green sari with a red headwrap and white flower decoration, hands in anjali-like pose. Right, a tall figure in a magenta satin skirt and blouse with silver jewellery and a blue pendant. Red ixora-type flowers are placed in front of the figures and on a brass tray holding wooden sandals with a flower on top. A printed sign partly reads KA... GUAD... GO..., and a brass vessel sits near a letter-block reading GUADELOUPE-like text. Behind, a large printed image shows a robed figure with a white flower garland and rudraksha malas. These are statues and a printed image, not living people.
