Indoor temple display room with two women in the foreground seen from behind: one in a bright pink sari with sequined blouse and a black handbag, the other in a lavender dress. They face a stage with several life-size figures and statues, including a golden-crowned figure in red and gold attire, a white-robed figure with a white turban and white feathered garment, and a seated figure in an ornate golden throne. The foreground figure in white sits on a white-draped platform decorated with moss and pinecones. A golden arch and red carpeted steps frame the stage, with a yellow scaffold on the left. Figures on the stage are statues and dolls, not physical people; two women are the only physical people visible.
