A tiered display of many small painted clay and metal deity figurines on red-draped steps, lit by strings of coloured lights. Seated Shiva figures, a blue-tinted Himalayan scene with Shiva and Parvati, Ganesha, Lakshmi-style goddesses and standing deity murti fill the tiers. A large ornate gold lamp or altar piece stands in the foreground. No physical people are visible; the figurines and statues are the only figures.
