The murti wears a golden crown, red and gold silk garments, and garlands of red and yellow flowers, with a hand placed on its shoulder. In the foreground is a silver hooded snake-canopied shivalinga-style base with a golden face and gemstone-studded arch above, draped in red and orange garlands. Behind them stands an ornate gold arch with gold-draped curtains. Appearance-based cues are not sufficient to name the figure, so the figure is described by role as a priest performing an abhishekam-style offering.2013-03-07
