Outdoor photograph of a black stone deity murti seated on a pedestal inside a white carved arch set against a green-and-gold cloth backdrop. The figure wears a white dhoti with red and gold trim, a garland of beads, a crown-like headdress, and holds ritual objects in multiple hands. Its base is surrounded by a heap of red-painted stones and a black-and-yellow dotted snake-like border. Surrounding the shrine are tall trees, bare-ground paving, small stone platforms and white pillars. A small plaque on the pedestal reads a Tamil inscription. No people are visible in the scene.
