Three decorated murti figures seated side by side on a richly embellished textile-draped seat before a green backdrop with gold ornamental panels. The central figure wears a tall gold crown with a red and white Shiva-style emblem on the forehead, layered jewelled necklaces with green and red stones, and a white floral garland with lace-like beadwork; it holds a trident and raises a hand. The figure on the left wears a maroon turban, a bead-embroidered maroon garment, and gold coin-like necklaces, with raised hand. The figure on the right wears a gold crown, a red garment with white beadwork, and holds a ritual object in one hand. Gold-bordered red and maroon cloths drape the seat. No living people are visible; these are deity murtis.
