Three statues in ornate Hindu deity style are displayed side by side in a wooden-panelled hall, each draped in green-bordered gold-thread textiles with orange marigold garlands. The central figure wears a tall jewelled crown, large ceremonial necklaces and a dark-skinned face, with small flowers at its feet. The figure on the left wears a red turban, a red-and-gold robe and a heavy beaded chest necklace. The figure on the right wears a jewelled crown, silver ornaments and a purple lower garment with a marigold garland. No physical people are visible; the figures are statues, so no in-person candidate is shown.
