A framed painted panel mounted on a temple wall shows a scene on a seashore. A green-skinned figure with a crown and a club kneels with open hands toward three blue-skinned figures: a woman in a yellow sari with blue sash, a figure with a bow and quiver, and another with a bow and quiver, all adorned with white garlands. Before them stands a black lingam on a yoke-shaped base with a small deity murti and flower garland. Sea and trees form the backdrop. The painting is a mounted illustration, not a physical gathering. A Tamil caption sits beneath the panel.
