Four seated deity murtis in ornate gold-framed niches inside a bright room with white curtains. The figures wear gold and jewelled ornaments, heavy necklaces, and draped garments in orange, red, green and gold. Tall decorated crowns with white and pink stone work rise above their heads, one holding a trident-like staff. The seated figures rest on orange and pink draped platforms, giving a formal temple-style display of statues rather than living people.
