Three ornately decorated statues sit side by side on a raised golden-cushioned platform before a backdrop of red petals and shimmering gold drapery. The central deity murti wears a tall crown with gold and jewel ornaments, a rudraksha-style chest garland, a white and pink flower garland and a gold-bordered dhoti. The figure on the left wears a deep maroon turban, maroon robe and layered pearl and gold necklaces. The figure on the right wears a gold and bronze sari-style garment, a jewelled crown and heavy gem necklaces. All are statues, not living people, and garlands of white and red flowers and green leaves surround the platform.
