Three decorated murtis stand on a purple cloth before a gold arched backdrop with a green curtain. The central figure wears a tall green jewelled crown with a Shiva-lingam-style emblem, layered gold and pearl necklaces, and a tiger-striped shawl over white, holding a trident-like staff in one hand and a drum-like object in another. To the left stands a figure in orange and saffron robes with a red turban, ornate beaded garlands and a gold pendant. To the right stands a female deity in a green and red sari with a gold-embellished cap and a red flower in hand. A tiger-skin cloth covers the central pedestal. Only statues are present, with no physical people.
