Photograph of three ornately decorated deity murtis seated on a red-draped altar with gold carved arches and brass lamps at the sides. The central murti, a standing deity with a tall jewelled crown, a vertical tilak and a lavish garland of pearl-like beads, is flanked by two smaller murtis wearing jewelled headdresses and embroidered green and red garments. Gold-bordered dhoti-style drapes cover the figures, and a small peacock sculpture stands at the right edge. Small oil lamps glow in the foreground. No physical people are visible.
