Three gilded deity murtis stand on pedestals against a deep red cloth backdrop framed by a decorative arch of pink, white, yellow and green fabric with silver tinsel. The central figure, a four-armed standing deity in a white dhoti with gold borders, wears a tall gold crown, a layered pearl and jewelled necklace, and holds attributes in its raised hands before a golden halo-like arch. Flanking figures in gold crowns, multi-strand beaded necklaces and orange or red skirts with green silk drapes stand on the same bases. The setting resembles workshop display of sculpted figures rather than people.
