Three deity murti statues stand on a draped stage before a golden arched frame and a deep red curtain. The central figure wears a tall red crown with gold and jewelled ornaments, a white dhoti, a green sash, and heavy jewelled necklaces with green and red stones. The figure on the left wears a red and gold turban, a rust-coloured garment with white embroidered borders and an orange shawl. The figure on the right wears a silver jewelled crown, a green and orange garment, and a sparkling multi-strand necklace. Green, gold and magenta draping lies at the base. This is a temple-style decorated murti display, not living people.
