A long-haired bearded man in a rust-red dhoti and a matching shawl with a beaded necklace walks forward on a concrete floor. Beside him a man in a white shirt and white trousers walks in step, and further back a man in light blue and a woman in yellow move among the displays. Around them stand golden ornate chariot and palanquin frames, a gilded arched frame, a golden umbrella with a multicoloured fringe, brass deity figures, trident-shaped objects and round decorated fans. A red-draped table holds decorative metalwork and jewellery.
