A photograph of two painted white marble deity statues standing on rectangular bases on a grey carpeted floor in an unfinished hall. The foreground statue is a female deity in a coral-pink sari with gold trim, green sash, gold crown with a peacock-feather plume, gold necklace and earrings, raising one hand in a gesture of blessing while holding a stem with a green-and-pink flower. Behind it stands a second statue in yellow dhoti with a green shawl and purple garland, its hands raised near its face, playing a flute. Scaffolding, ladders, wooden crates and a person in orange and white clothing with a video camera are in the background. No living people are in the foreground beside the statues.

Close-up photograph of two small gilded metal murti figures standing together on a brass base against a dark maroon background. The taller figure, wearing a tall ornate crown, raises one hand holding a small staff-like object, and wears white dhoti-style cloth with green borders, a jewelled gold waistband and rudraksha beads. The smaller figure beside it, also crowned, wears white cloth with green edging, a gold belt set with red and green stones, and rudraksha strands, with one arm extended toward the taller figure. The figures are deity murtis, not people.

Two white marble murti statues of Krishna and Radha stand side by side against a white wall.

A sconce light is visible at upper right. No physical people are present.
