Three figures seated side by side on an ornate golden throne-like dais before a shimmering gold backdrop and a white draped cloth. The figures appear to be sculpted or painted statues rather than living people: the centre figure wears a tall jewelled crown with a green gem, a red stone pendant and layered white and multicoloured beaded necklaces, and raises both hands in blessing. The figure on the left wears an orange-red turban, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and an orange-brown robe. The figure on the right wears a black and gold headdress, heavy jewelled necklaces and a gold-bordered saffron-and-gold shawl, holding a small ritual object. The seat is draped in red and gold cloth with gold brocade. These are deity murti or devotional statues arranged in a shrine setting.
