A photograph in a carpeted hotel-style corridor. On the left, several seated deity murtis (statues) in ornate orange, red and blue robes with gold crowns, heavy gold jewellery and red beaded necklaces sit on a yellow-draped platform, with a decorative gold-and-red pennant standing behind them. On the right, three men walk past in saffron and maroon robes; a bearded man in a long orange-saffron shawl and white head covering leads, while a man in a maroon dhoti and maroon turban with a gold-and-white necklace stands smiling near the wall. The statues and the living people are distinct; the statues are not people.
