Three deity murtis (utsav murthis) sit on a green-and-gold tray before an ornate gilded arch in a home shrine. The central figure, dressed in a teal dhoti with gold jewellery, rudraksha-style necklaces and a dark braided topknot, raises one hand in blessing and holds a trident-like staff. The two flanking figures wear teal and gold silk saris with dark braided hair, gem-set headpieces and layered necklaces. White hydrangea-style garlands and pink roses and carnations surround them, and a leopard-print cloth lies beneath. Behind the shrine, a figure in orange robes with rudraksha and white beaded malas is partly visible, and a green parrot ornament hangs at the upper right. These are statues, not physical people.
