Three golden statues sit side by side on a draped stage before a navy backdrop with white flower motifs and a pink-and-gold curtain. The central figure, a deity murti with a gold crown and red gemstone, wears a rudraksha mala, ornate white and gold necklaces, a gold-bordered cream shawl, and raises both hands in blessing. The figure on the left wears a saffron-orange turban, leopard-print cloth and a gold belt, and holds a gold trident-like staff. The figure on the right wears a tall gold crown with a red stone and a green sari with pink borders, with a rudraksha mala and jewellery. Garlands and a leaf offering rest on the central figure. These are statues, not physical people.
