Photograph of several metal deity murtis wrapped in clear plastic and packing material, arranged in a room before shipping. A large arched halo-like frame stands behind a multi-armed deity murti on the left, and a second seated murti in ornate dress with a crown sits beside it. To the right, a figure in a pinkish-brown shawl stands near a silver-coloured pedestal or box, with a small statue behind. Cloth wrappings and boxes lie on the floor, and a white curtain hangs in the background.

A photograph of a cluttered room packed with silver-coloured metal deity murti and vahana figures, many wrapped in plastic and white cloth, some with white flower garlands on their heads. Several figures ride animal vahanas and one stands with a raised arm near the left. A framed picture hangs on the wall above, and a dark patterned cloth covers a seat behind the figures.
