Photograph of two golden metal murti statues seated side by side on a raised green-draped platform under a gold-framed arch. The left figure is a four-armed deity with a jeweled crown, white and gold dhoti, layered gold necklace and white jasmine garland, holding a trident-like staff and a mudra hand. The right figure wears a tall jeweled crown, gold necklace, red-and-gold garment and white garland, seated with one hand raised. Behind them hang striped red, maroon, yellow and green flower garlands with decorative leaf-shaped panels. The background shows a white draped canopy. No physical people are visible.

Close-up photograph of two metal deity murti figures decorated with white jasmine garlands. The figure on the left wears a gold-and-green patterned sari and a tall gold crown, holds a ceremonial staff with a snake-like handle, and raises one hand in blessing. The figure on the right wears an orange and gold sari with green accents, a pointed crown and red bindi. Red and gold necklaces adorn both figures. A red cloth lies below, with a blurred figure in orange and gold partly visible at the upper left. The statues are not living people.

Two gilded metal statues sit on lotus-base pedestals against a white tent backdrop. The left statue is a four-armed deity murti in white and gold dhoti-style clothing with a gold-and-white head cloth, wearing a large jewelled gold necklace with green and red stones, and holding a trident-like staff in one hand. The right statue is a seated female deity murti in a red and gold sari with a jewelled necklace and a crown-like headdress. At the left edge, a person in saffron/orange cloth is partly visible, and at the right edge another person in a grey sweater and white dhoti stands beside the statues.

The larger figure wears a gold crown with a yellow and green sari-style garment, holds a ceremonial object in one raised hand, and has a red bindi on the forehead. The smaller figure beside it wears an orange and gold garment with a green border and a pearl necklace. A red cloth surface and blurred orange decorations appear in the background.

Two golden metal murti statues sit side by side on a striped pink, green and blue cloth outdoors, with rocky ground and grass behind them. The figure on the left wears an orange dhoti, a tall crown, a gold necklace and a white and red flower garland, holds a staff-like object in one hand and raises the other in a blessing gesture. The figure on the right wears a green skirt, a red shawl, a crown, layered jewellery and a similar garland, with one hand raised. A small metal vessel with flowers sits in front of them, and a carved wooden stand with a lion sculpture stands at right. The scene appears to be a shrine setting with deity murtis, not living people.

The male figure wears a white and red turban, red and gold dhoti-style garments, ornate white beaded necklaces and bracelets, and holds a ritual staff with a finial in one raised hand while the other hand is raised in blessing. The female figure wears a red and orange choli, a white flowing skirt, layered gold and white necklaces, a jewelled crown and earrings, and rests one hand on the male figure's shoulder. Both are adorned with white flower garlands, red flowers, and a jewelled Shiva lingam-style emblem on the base. A white cloth backdrop is visible behind them.
