Five dark grey stone statues of deities seated on animal mounts are arranged in a row on individual rectangular plinths outdoors. Each figure wears a tall crown, ornate jewellery and shoulder armour, and holds a ceremonial object in one raised hand. Plants, a plumeria branch with green leaves and a red-brick wall stand behind them on sandy, leafy ground. The statues are unoccupied by people; they are deity murti displayed in a garden setting.
