A photograph of a temple shrine with a central black stone deity murti of Murugan holding a spear (vel) in its raised hand, wearing an orange dhoti, a silver-and-jewelled shield-like backdrop and a white crown. Flanked on either side by two black stone female figures in magenta saris and silver necklaces. In front, a row of small gilded metal figurines includes a Ganesha with a mouse, a figure holding a trident, and several seated deities draped in red cloths, with pink and yellow flower petals and marigold garlands scattered around them. Two brass plates in the foreground hold a small oil lamp with a marigold and a tray of ritual items. The floor is patterned and the arched gold frame surrounds the shrine. No people are visible.
