A photograph of a standing black stone deity murti in a shrine against a gold-painted wall with a maroon and gold cloth canopy above. The murti wears an ornate silver-and-jewelled crown with a green cap, a red tilak on the forehead, a white flower garland and a heavy jewelled necklace, and is dressed in orange and gold silk with a gold brocade shawl. It holds a silver trident in one hand and has pink flower offerings at its feet. A red placard reads KAILASA THANJAVUR in front of the base, and a brass oil lamp sits in the foreground. No physical people are visible.
