Photograph of a display of small brass deity statues on a wooden table in an interior with white walls. Several standing figures with tall crowns and ornate jewelry cluster together, including a figure with a raised hand holding an object, and a seated bull figure in the foreground. A larger dark metal multi-armed figure sits on a shelf at the left, and wooden carved panels stand at the right. The statues are polished gold-toned brass with ornate detailing.

Close view of a brass tray set with a group of small metal deity murtis on square pedestals, arranged around a central standing figure with a conical crown and raised hand, surrounded by several animal-mounted figures; scattered pink flower petals lie on the tray. Blurred people in white clothing sit at the left and top edge, and a deep red velvet cushion rests behind the tray. This appears to be a navagraha or ritual puja arrangement of murtis, with the people seated beyond the tray.
