A black stone statue of a standing figure in front of a gold-painted wall, wearing a tall green and gold crown decorated with silver beading and a red hibiscus flower on top. The figure has a red tilak mark on the forehead, a garland of red roses and yellow marigolds, layered white pearl and gem necklaces, and a gold-bordered shawl over a striped dhoti. A red hibiscus is tucked into the raised hand, and yellow flowers lie at the feet on a black pedestal. A red plaque on the base reads KAILASA THANJAVUR. This is a deity murti or statue, not a living person.
