Three small metal murti figures stand on a polished silver tray in front of a framed picture. The central figure is a bare-chested standing sage with a white marking on his head and red bindi-like dots on his forehead, flanked by a figure with a raised trident-like staff and armour-like jewellery on the left and a female figure in a red garment on the right. Each murti sits on a square tiered base, and yellow flower petals and red thread are scattered at their feet. Behind them, a large printed picture shows a figure draped in a garland of white flowers and bangles. The murtis are deity and devotee statues, not people, so no physical individuals are present.
