A standing dark-blue deity murti, a Shiva-form figure, stands against a gold-painted wall with a maroon and gold cloth canopy above. It holds a silver trident with a red flower garland wrapped at its base in its raised hand. The figure wears a tall green and white jeweled crown topped with flowers, a tripundra on the forehead, layered white and jeweled necklaces, and a gold-bordered blue and maroon dhoti with gold shoulder drapes. A small oil lamp burns at the base of the pedestal, which bears a red sign reading KAILASA THANJAVUR. A peacock feather is tucked behind the canopy at the upper left. No people are visible.
