A gold-beaded rudraksha-style mala hangs at his neck. Behind him a shivalinga sits on a white-draped platform, and the red-and-white painted shrine walls carry Tamil inscriptions. A brass lamp stands on the left wall. Yellow flowers lie on the mat near his foot. The person is not shown in a seated or throne position; he appears to be a devotee performing puja.
