Close side view of two metal murti statues in a procession setting. The nearer figure on the left wears a white cloth wrapped over its head and has a fine face in profile. The central figure is a bronze-toned deity murti with an ornate crown, jewelled earrings, and a white jasmine garland draped over the shoulder, with a red flower tucked above the crown. Yellow marigold garlands hang near the base, and a red cloth drapes behind. Gilded carved pillars and a wooden beam frame the right side against a dark background with a lit sign. Two statues only; no living people are visible.
