A photograph of a dark-stone deity murti standing in a shrine with a golden-yellow wall and a maroon-and-gold cloth canopy above. The figure wears an ornate crown-like headdress with a green and silver top, a jewelled necklace, a garland of white jasmine and red flowers, a green and gold dhoti, and gold-bordered shawls, and holds a trident in one hand. A small brass oil lamp burns on a black pedestal beside bananas, a coconut, a white-fruited item and yellow packets. A red placard on the base reads KAILASA THANJAVUR. No people are visible. Dated Apr 3, 2025 with the location Melaveli, Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu printed in the corner.
