Three ornate deity murtis are seated on a silver nandi-shaped throne with a silver bull head at left, against a dark stage backdrop. The central figure wears a tall crown, heavy jeweled necklaces and an elaborate jeweled garment with red and pink tones. The figures to either side wear purple and red clothing, jeweled collars and garlands. Garlands of red, pink and white flowers drape the backrest, and a magenta cloth covers the front of the throne. These are statues, not living people.
