The figure wears an ornate jewelled crown, heavy gold and gemstone necklaces, a jewelled waist ornament, a white dhoti and a white shawl, with rudraksha-style beaded strands and blue-rimmed medallions. A trident leans against the right side of the arch, and a green-and-red sleeved arm holds a small object. No physical people are visible, so the subject is a statue rather than a person; no a person candidate appears in person.2013-11-15A silver deity murti of a goddess stands at the centre, holding a silver staff and a white flower, adorned with layered gold and jewelled necklaces, a crown, and an orange-red silk garment with a green silk skirt. It is framed by an arch of red, pink, yellow, purple and green flower garlands on a decorated backdrop. To the left, a partially visible screen shows a large face and a raised hand. Oil lamps are visible at the base, with a metal lattice screen to the right.

The central figure wears a tall golden crown set with red and green stones, a silver Shiva-like forehead marking, and a jewelled blue garment, holding a trident-like staff and a spear-like rod. A second, smaller gilded figure with jewelled ornaments stands to the right, and a golden vessel rests in the foreground. Behind them a large ornate golden canopy or throne is visible. No physical people are present; the figures are statues, decorated for worship.2015-02-03A decorated statue of a seated figure, presumably a deity murti, sits within an elaborate arrangement of garlands of purple, white, orange and yellow flowers, with red flowers interspersed.
