A row of life-sized painted statues in a covered exhibition hall with sand underfoot and coloured drapes behind. From left: a figure with a fish-tailed base and red and gold top, a figure in a red shawl and gold trousers, a figure in white and red sari-style dress holding a stringed instrument, a figure in orange robe with a rudraksha-style bead necklace and a crown holding a stringed instrument, and a darker figure in dark blue drapery with a crown and gold trim holding a bow-like object. These are statues, not living people, and no living person is clearly visible. The setting resembles a mythological tableau display.
