Overhead view of many small identical clay figurines arranged in rows on a green leaf placed over a colourful striped cloth in pink, green, blue and yellow. Each figurine is a seated figure in a red-orange robe with grey hair and a beaded necklace, appearing in lines across the frame. These are figurines or statues rather than physical people, so no people are present. The arrangement suggests preparation of ritual objects for a Siddha aushada process.
