A display table draped in white cloth holds a row of small painted resin figurines of Hindu deities and saints for sale or devotion. Visible pieces include a Krishna playing a flute in blue and yellow, a Radha-Krishna pair against a dark arched backdrop, a Ganesha in red and pink, a seated Hanuman in orange and brown, a Saraswati with a veena in red and gold, and a deity murti in a gilded arched shrine. A seated figure in orange robes with a red-and-orange shawl holds up a long stick, and an orange-robed figure stands at the right edge. No people are clearly visible as physical attendees beyond these partially visible robed figures in the background, and the figurines and robes are not clearly in a staged ritual. Overall a merchandise or souvenir stall setting.

Left to right: a figure with a golden crown and gold jewellery, a blue-skinned figure in yellow dhoti, a figure in red with a gold crown, a central figure in yellow seated on a red throne with the word PADUKA on its base, and a seated figure with a blue-green and gold garment beside a Shiva lingam with a cobra hood. Two tall green painted parrot-headed figures with chains stand in the centre back. At right, a golden seated figure holds a veena, and a pink Ganesha figure appears at the edge. These are statues, not people, so no physical people are present.2007-10-17A photograph of a display of painted clay figurines, the kind used in a Navaratri golu arrangement. In the centre a small seated figure in orange robes sits on a dark rock base, with a red tilak on the forehead, a dark bead necklace, and hands held in a gesture of blessing, with a turtle at its base. Nearby stand a green-robed figure with a purple sash and blurred orange-robed figures in the foreground, set against a dark tree, colourful painted dolls and a striped tiered structure. The figures are miniature statuettes, not people, and the appearance of the central figure is not a sufficient basis for identifying anyone.2016-10-08September 09 20112011-09-09October 02 20112011-10-02October 08 20162016-10-08October 02 20112011-10-02Photo of a dimly lit display of painted deity figurines and statues arranged on tiered white-draped steps.

A maroon cloth backdrop with gold border hangs behind.2011-10-02October 08 20162016-10-08
