A photograph of a black stone statue standing on a dark pedestal inside a temple shrine against a gold-painted wall with a maroon-and-gold cloth canopy above. The statue wears a tall green and silver ornate crown, pearl and jewelled necklaces, a gold-and-blue silk dhoti with gold shoulder shawl, and holds a red flower and purple flower in one raised hand. A brass oil lamp sits in front of the pedestal, with red and yellow flower offerings at the base. The pedestal bears a red sign reading KAILASA THANJAVUR.
