Three ornately dressed statues sit in a gilded arched shrine with orange and red draped silk behind them. The central figure wears an orange and gold robe, a red and white jewelled necklace, a tall orange turban with a crescent ornament, and raises his hands in a blessing gesture. The figure on the left wears a maroon robe with a beaded rudraksha-style necklace, and the figure on the right wears a magenta sari with heavy gold and jewelled necklaces. All three are seated on leopard-print cloth over a gold shimmering altar cloth. These are deity murti displayed for worship, not living people.
