A deity murti of a standing Murugan figure with a tall conical crown, bejewelled silver-and-gold ornaments and a spear held in one hand, is flanked by two smaller silver consort figures. The central figure and flanking statues are densely decorated with garlands of yellow, red, purple and white flowers and green leaves arranged in a large arch. They sit on a teal cloth-covered platform in front of a red backdrop, with a standing man in white dhoti and shirt at the left edge near a thick rope. The setting is at night with dark surroundings and white cloth at the sides.
