A black stone statue of a standing male figure, shown in a frontal view against a gold-painted wall with a maroon cloth canopy above. The figure wears a red and green turban with a jeweled ornament, a red tilak dot on the forehead, layered pearl and gemstone necklaces, a maroon dhoti with gold borders, and a gold-bordered shawl draped over both arms. The right hand is raised in abhaya mudra with a red gem on the palm. Yellow flowers rest at the base on a black pedestal bearing a red sign reading KAILASA THANJAVUR. This is a deity murti, not a living person, and no physical people are present.
