A photograph of three metal murti statues displayed on a draped stage. The central figure is a deity murti with a tall crown, a sindoor-marked forehead, an orange marigold garland and a green silk garment with silver embroidery and a wide gold-trimmed border, its right hand raised in blessing. Flanking it, a male statue on the left wears an orange-red turban and garlands of orange marigolds and red flowers, and a female statue on the right wears a crown and a garland of red flowers. All three are adorned with silver jewellery and sit on dark blue and green draped cloth. No living people are visible.

A metal deity murti stands centrally against a dark backdrop, wearing an ornate jewelled crown with red and green stones and a Shiva-style lingam emblem on its forehead. Orange marigold garlands drape the chest, with a white flower garland hanging below, and layered silver and gem-set necklaces adorn the figure. Its raised right hand shows abhaya mudra and the left hand rests down. Teal and gold embroidered cloth frames the figure, with a small kalasha-like finial at left and a flame-shaped finial at right. No physical people are visible.
