A photograph of a dark stone statue of a standing deity figure in a temple niche against a gold-painted wall. The figure wears a tall green and silver crown, a red bindi, a flower garland of yellow marigolds, a layered pearl and gem-set necklace, and a gold-bordered cloth draped over the shoulders and a dhoti of blue and maroon tones. A red hibiscus flower rests in its raised hand. Marigold petals lie at its feet on a black pedestal. A red sign on the pedestal reads KAILASA THANJAVUR. A camera timestamp in the lower right reads Nov 4, 2024 6:11:42 AM, South Rampart, Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu. The figure is a statue, not a living person.
