A seated wooden sculpture of a four-armed deity murti with a tall jatamukuta-style headdress, sits cross-legged on a flat base atop a green metal bench in a plain room. Its skin is tan with dark patches, and it wears a sacred thread and a ribbed chest band. One hand holds a trident-like staff and another a small drum or bowl, while the other hands are in abhaya and a mudra. To the right sits a small dark figure of a seated devotee with folded hands, and to the left stands a gilded metal figure. A blue curtain hangs behind, and a strand of yellow and red flowers is visible at the top. A water bottle lies under the feet. The display is a wax or wood model rather than a living person.

A small polished bronze standing figure on a square pedestal stands to the left, and a smaller figure with hands joined in prayer sits to the right. A light switch panel is visible on the wall above, and a partial white-clad leg appears at the far left edge.

Each figure has multiple arms, raised legs and a flame in one hand, shown in a dynamic dancing pose. No people are visible.

The figure is bare-chested with a tiered cylindrical crown, a jewelled belt and armlets, one arm raised and the other extended.

Small blue and white printed paper labels are placed on the table, one reading Tamil text. A person in light clothing is partly visible at the upper right edge. The statue is a deity murti displayed as an object, not a person.
