A Navaratri-style golu display of many painted clay and wooden murti figures arranged in tiered steps covered with mustard-yellow cloth against a red backdrop with fairy lights. At the top centre, a seated figure in orange robes, with a turban-like head covering and raised right hand in blessing, sits before a white arch with gold lions, flanked by lamps and garlands; this is a statue, not a physical person. Below, many figures show Hindu deities, saints and devotees, including a bronze-toned deity with a crown and red sari-clad figures, a blue deity seated on a lotus, a dancing Krishna, and a reclining figure on a blue painted base. A small green and gold ornamental arch stands in front. No living people are visible.
