Central framed portrait shows a smiling man with long dark hair and a tilak, wearing an orange robe and white flower garland, one hand raised in blessing, with a rudraksha mala draped beside him; the portrait is labelled in print as a depiction rather than a living person present. Surrounding the shrine are framed images of deities, a painted ascetic meditating, a brass or clay deity face with a crown, a green cloth-covered tray holding a coconut, a white gourd, a plastic bottle of oil, and a lit oil lamp in a glass lantern. A printed chart in Tamil lists the 18 Siddhas and 51 Mahans with small portraits. No people are physically present in the scene.
