Several ornate metal murti statues of deities stand in a row beside a pink-walled hall, adorned with yellow marigold garlands and jewelled crowns. The central figure wears a tall crown with a dark feather plume, a layered pearl-and-bead necklace and a richly decorated body; another crowned figure on the right has a jewelled headdress with red and green stones. Brass lamps with cup-shaped tops and a pink cloth draped below suggest preparation for worship. Pink curtains hang in the background, with colourful festoons overhead. No physical people are prominently in the foreground.

Three metal murtis of deities stand in front of a white draped backdrop on a red-tiled floor. The central figure holds a trident and a staff with pennant, wears a red and orange turban, a large jewelled crown, and a dark green and gold dhoti with a heavy jewelled necklace. Flanking figures in green and magenta silk sarees wear jewelled crowns and necklaces. Yellow marigold garlands and dark green leaf garlands drape all three figures, and a bull figure stands at the central base. The murtis are deity murti, not living people.

Two gilded metal deity murtis are decorated for worship against a crimson draped backdrop with ornate gold-toned frame. The murti on the left wears a tall silver-and-gold crown, a heavy gold necklace and jewelled ornaments, with a garland of yellow flowers and red blossoms. The murti on the right wears a pink-and-gold headdress, a green-and-gold sari-style cloth, layered gold necklaces and a garland of yellow and red flowers. Tall brass oil lamps stand beside them, and a brass bird-topped staff rests in the centre, with a brass lamp in front. The scene suggests a temple-style abhishekam or puja setting.
