A golden shrine with two gilded deity murtis, labelled on a plaque as Sri Anandeshwarar, a Shiva-Shakti pair adorned with white, yellow and red garlands, one holding a trident and one holding a staff. In front sits a white marble statue of a seated sannyasi in orange robes and an orange-and-gold turban, with a red bindi and a red-and-yellow garland, raising one hand in blessing. Before the statue are brass vessels, a golden plate with ornaments, a conch shell and an oil lamp, with flower petals scattered on the wooden platform. A silver car is visible outside through the doorway. The statue is a depiction, not a living person, and no people are present.
