A nine-panel photo collage of dark stone Navagraha murtis, each decorated with gold jewellery, garlands and coloured cloth. The panels show the nine planetary deities adorned for abhishekam, with gold necklaces, crowns and jewelled ornaments, and a crescent-moon headpiece on one. Cloths in pink, red, orange, green and white are draped at the waists. Some panels show marigold and white flower garlands and a gold bell-shaped ornament. The background shows a blurred hall with red curtains and yellow flower offerings. No physical people are visible.
