The shrine holds a large golden canopy over a pair of silver-crowned deity murtis garlanded with pink and green flowers, a black stone murti of Shiva-like form draped in pink flower garlands and rudraksha, and a smaller murti in a gold arched niche. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides, and a gold table in front holds small figurines, a red cloth bundle, offering bowls and flower petals. A white sign reading KAILASA MADURAI is visible at the left edge.
