A photograph of three gilded murti figures seated side by side on a green-draped platform within a gold arched frame. The central figure wears a tall gold crown, a white ornate garment with silver and jewelled embellishments, and raises its hands in blessing. The figure on the left wears a maroon and red turban, a gold-toned bead-and-chain necklace and a red-and-gold waist cloth. The figure on the right wears a gold crown with a red jewel, a red and silver garment and gold-toned ornaments. Yellow marigold garlands and red-and-white flower garlands with green leaves drape across the figures, and small green parakeet figures sit on the platform. These are deity murti, not living people, and the image shows no visible human participants.

Photograph of three ornately decorated murti statues on a golden-framed stage, set against a dark blue draped backdrop. The central figure is a standing deity murti wearing a golden crown with a red band, a heavy gold necklace and a green-stoned pendant, and holding a long spear. Flanking him are two smaller figures: on the left a murti in a red and gold turban, holding a staff and wearing gold necklaces; on the right a murti in a tall gold crown, holding a staff. All three are draped with thick garlands of white jasmine, red and yellow marigolds, and gold-threaded ornamental strands, and they stand on a blue brocade cloth over a yellow skirted base.
