Their sides, hair lines, body pores are of Risht gem. The symbols on their breasts and chest are of special shining material. The arms and neck are of gold.

The eye-lids are also of same material. The pupils of the eyes, the retinas and the eye-brows are of Risht jewels. The cheeks, ears and forehead are of gold. The skull is of diamond.

The handles of the whisks are studded with pearls, gems and diamonds of various types decorated with gold and bear bright paintings. The hair of the whisks are as white as conch shell, ank jewel, water drop, silver, rubbed foam. They are very fine and long. The posture of those idols is that of ecstatic pleasure.
