The murti has a tilak on its forehead, a crescent-adorned crown, a snake coiled over its shoulder and chest, and holds a trident-like staff and a small drum-shaped object. Small figurines and another deity murti appear at the edges, set against a warm golden background. Caption at bottom reads Shatmurthy Abhishekam, Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Brahmotsavam - Day 5.
