A photo of three large painted wooden or composite deity figures standing in a row on pedestals inside an interior room with a red floor. The nearest figure, on the right, has a grey elephant-like head with a pink tusk-like protrusion, a golden crown, and an orange and gold body with a green and gold waist cloth, holding a staff. The middle figure is seated on a throne-like pedestal with a green and red body, a gold crown and jewellery, and one hand raised in blessing. The figure on the left is green-skinned and wears a tall ornate crown. A blue tarpaulin is draped behind them. A woman in a white sari with a black bag stands in the background near a doorway. Some of the figures appear to be deity murti sculptures awaiting display.
