A photograph of a small doll-like figure of a goddess in a temple display. The figure wears a red silk sari with a teal and gold border, a gold jeweled crown, a red bindi, a multi-strand necklace and earrings, and holds a small kalasha-like vessel. Behind her a large statue in a pink and gold striped sari stands on a dark stone pedestal. The backdrop shows painted temple architecture and red velvet curtains, and the dark glossy floor reflects the scene. No people are visible; the figures are statues or murtis.
