Silver and metallic murtis, painted clay figures and dolls fill the rows, with a prominent multi-armed goddess seated on a lion or tiger near the centre and a blue Himalayan-style backdrop with a seated Shiva figure at the lower left. Arched silver frames top the upper tiers. No physical people are visible; the figures are statues.
