A photograph of small bronze deity murtis arranged on a wooden platform on a grey stone floor. Five figures are heavily decorated with yellow marigold and white flower garlands wrapped around their heads and bodies. The central figure wears a red garment and a red and gold jewelled necklace with pearl strands. Flanking figures wear green and multicoloured jewelled necklaces. Small scattered yellow petals lie on the platform. No physical people are visible, only statues, so a person is none.
