A photograph of a shrine-like arrangement holding three metal murtis, not living people. At centre stands a deity murti with an orange turban, a gold necklace and a rudraksha-style mala, holding a staff. Flanked by two smaller murtis, one in grey-silver and one in blue, both wearing jewelled necklaces and crowns. Yellow, purple, white and red flower garlands drape the figures and an ornate gold arch behind them. In the foreground stands a large gold vahana sculpture of a peacock-like bird on a wooden stand. Maroon cloth covers the seat. Setting appears to be a temple or hall with a teal and gold backdrop.
