Photograph of a row of green stone Navagraha statues on a raised platform, with incense smoke curling through the air against a dark maroon drape. The nearest figure on the left is a serpent-bodied deity with hands folded and a red tilak on the forehead, beside a hooded cobra-like form. The large figure on the right stands with raised hand, wearing a conical crown, a red tilak, and a belt, with a bull or animal figure at its side. Behind them are further figures with red tilaks, and a small yellow flower petal rests on the platform. A person's arm reaches in from the left edge of the frame toward the statues.
