A photograph of a dark-stone deity murti seated in a gilded arched niche with an orange backdrop. The murti wears a green silk sari-like drape with a gold-bordered hem, a tall decorated crown wrapped in white, orange, teal and red flowers, and a long garland of white and red blossoms with red hibiscus flowers. Red and white patterned bands hang at its sides, and a braided tail with a gold tassel falls at the front. Two brass oil lamps with lit wicks stand on the floor in front of it, and a yellow and white floor kolam decorates the lower right. No people are visible. A date stamp in the lower right reads Feb. 21, 2025 10:59:29 a.m., Salem, Tamil Nadu, Index number 253.
