Beside the throne stands a painted deity murti of Murugan with a spear and a golden mount, and another golden vahana-style figure. Left of the frame, a large golden peetha-style structure holds a decorated deity murti wreathed in white and red garlands and marigold strands, with a golden animal mount in front. Brass oil lamps stand between the figures, and a red-draped platform and painted columns complete the setting. The seated person is not identifiable as a person from visible cues; a praying priest or devotee role is shown.
