In the foreground a yellow table holds a green cloth with brass and copper statuettes, a coil of copper wire and round brown sweets. Two women stand at the table: one in a white top with a light shawl, another in a dark top with a red-and-white beaded mala and white stole, examining items. Behind them shoppers in saris, kurtas and white clothing browse shelves of gold-toned deity figurines and brass pieces. Several people in the background wear orange and pink garments. A deity murti figure appears on the upper shelf.
