Three gilded deity murtis sit side by side on a red cloth-draped throne-like platform beneath a gold ornate arch. The central figure, with a tall crown and bangles, holds a lotus-like hand gesture; the figures on either side wear crowns and garlands. Thick garlands of red, yellow, white and purple flowers with green leaves drape the platform and frame each figure. Ornate gold carved decor fills the background, with a golden lion-like figure at the right edge. No living people are visible; this is a photograph of statues on an altar.
