Three gilded statues sit on a raised platform beneath an ornate gold arch with draped crimson and gold curtains. The central figure wears a tall jewelled golden crown, an orange shawl, a rudraksha mala and layered ornate gold and jewelled necklaces, with a purple lower garment and a leopard-print seat cloth. The figure on the left wears a brown-orange turban and rudraksha mala with a ceremonial gold necklace, and the figure on the right wears a jewelled crown with a magenta sari, rudraksha mala and bead garlands. These are statues, not living people; no printed name appears on the murtis.
