A photograph of three gilded deity murtis in a decorated shrine. The central standing figure wears a tall white and gold crown with jewelled patterns and a tilak mark, holds a golden staff with a pennant-like ornament, and wears a saffron-gold garment with a jewelled necklace. Two flanking figures wear large crowns and ornate, gem-studded robes in red, green and blue, one holding a gold staff. Behind them hang deep red and orange drapes embroidered with gold thread and a gilded arch frames the scene. Lamp stands are visible at the right edge. Figures are statues, not physical people, and no living people are shown.
