Three deity murtis are decorated on a raised platform for a festival display. The central figure, a Shiva murti with a trident, wears an orange-red head covering and a rich jewelled chest ornament. Flanking him are two female murtis in ornate silver-and-gold crowns and jewelled necklaces; the one on the right wears an orange-red silk sari with gold border. All three are draped in long garlands of yellow, orange, purple, red and green flowers. In front, a golden bull mount with red and green gemstone embellishments sits on a blue-draped stand. No people are visible; the statues are the only figures.
