A photograph of a small Deepavali display on a draped red and brown cloth. A gilded standing statue of a sage in a maroon wrap, a red-and-gold turban with a pink flower, and a jewelled ornate belt and necklaces stands at centre with one hand raised. Around it are lit clay oil lamps (diyas) in painted orange, red and blue pots, with a small terracotta shrine bearing a Ganesha relief at right. Scattered pale pink petals lie at the base. A red sign on the yellow wall reads KAILASA ST LOUIS. The statue is a figure, not a physical person, so no people are present.
