A golden-metal statue pair of Shiva and Parvati, labelled on the top signs as Sri Anandeshwarar and Sri Anandeswari, stands behind a white statue of a seated sage in orange robes with a turban and a raised hand in abhaya gesture. The deities wear gold crowns, jewelled necklaces and flower garlands of yellow, white and red; Shiva holds a trident and Parvati a lotus-like object. The seated white statue, with a red tilak, wears a pink-and-yellow garland and orange clothing. A small decorated kalasha-like object sits at lower right, and red-and-gold drapery frames the scene. These are statues and no physical people are present.
