A photograph of a long row of dark brown-black wooden deity murti figures lying horizontally on a pink-and-white striped cloth, with their heads and feet extending off the frame, possibly carved wooden statues or palanquin-style figures. Several men in white shirts and trousers stand along the right wall, looking down at the figures, with a wall of concrete blocks and pipes behind them. In the background, more people in white clothing stand and sit near a parked car under bright ceiling lights, with stanchions and a rope barrier in the foreground.
