Three golden metal murtis stand on a grey stone slab with scattered pink flowers and petals. At left, a golden standing male figure with a red tilak on the forehead raises one hand in blessing and wears a loincloth. In the centre is a golden stepped pyramid shaped sri meru style object. At right, a golden standing female deity murti wears a red sari with a green border and a red tilak. Behind them is a large dark stone base with scalloped lotus-like edges, and draped teal and red fabric in the background. The scene reads as a shrine display with a deity murti arrangement.
