A tiered Bommai Golu display fills the back wall, with rows of small painted clay and metal figurines of deities, figures and dolls arranged on red-draped steps lit by strings of purple and blue lights. A larger gold-coloured deity murti of a goddess riding a lion stands at the centre, with a golden arched frame and throne in front. At the lower right, a few seated devotees in white and dark clothing watch the display, and an ornate golden peetha sits at right. The setting is a decorated pandal with pink drapery overhead.
