The painted tower has multicoloured sculpted figures, tiered roof ornaments and a signboard reading the temple name in Tamil script. Two painted standing female deity figures flank the doorway, one in green and one in orange, and yellow-and-red slatted shutters line the facade. To the left stands a blue-and-white police jeep beside a sign reading Police Station, Tiruvannamalai. No people are visible; sandals lie at the entrance step.
