Three grey stone statues of standing deities are displayed outdoors on a dirt ground in front of a concrete block wall. The central figure is a multi-armed deity with a tall crown and a small animal mount at its feet, flanked by two taller female figures with crowns, one holding a lotus-like object and the other holding a staff-like item. Large banana leaves and potted plants surround them, with a tent canopy and strings of small flags visible at the top. A woman in white stands in the background, and a yellow sign reads leave your footwear here. No people are prominent in the foreground.
