Four bronze deity murtis stand on a metal worktable in a workshop or storeroom. The central figure is a four-armed standing form with an ornate crown and jewellery; flanking figures show a slender standing deity and a seated-looking attendant form with a tall headdress, and a plain standing figure stands at the right. Behind them are gilded pillars, shelves, stacked metal objects and a pile of marigold garlands on a table, with a brass lamp in the lower right. No people are visible.

Photograph of a decorated deity murti group on a red-draped altar. A central murti wears a tall ornate crown, jeweled chest ornaments and holds a staff; flanking consort murtis on either side wear crowns, gold jewelry and saris, all encircled by large garlands of marigolds, roses and yellow, white and purple flowers. Behind them a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits beneath a golden canopy, possibly a painted or statue portrait. A brass oil lamp and a small brass ganesha figure sit at the lower corners, and a microphone stands at left beside a partially visible person's head.

Three silver-finished metal statues of Hindu deities stand side by side on a raised silver base against a dark wall, placed on a multicoloured woven cloth with orange, red, blue and yellow stripes. The central standing figure has four arms, holds objects in its upper hands and has an ornate crown, necklaces and a pleated dhoti. The figures on either side are female-form statues with tall crowns, jewelled necklaces and draped garments, one holding an object near the chest. A small electrical switch box is visible on the wall behind. No physical people are present.

The central figure holds a staff-like object in one hand and a mace-like emblem in the other, and an ornate golden arch with a tiered kalasha-style finial frames the group. Blurred gold and red objects appear in the background. No people are visible.
