He gestures with his hand toward three metal murtis on a wall-mounted shelf: a standing bronze sage figure in brown robes with rudraksha beads, a golden deity murti in white dhoti with crown and carrying a trident-like staff, and a female deity murti with crown, multicoloured sari and pearl necklaces.
