A decorated deity murti of Murugan with a golden peacock vahana in the foreground. The central figure holds a spear (vel) and wears a silver-and-jewelled ornamental body covering with a dark blue base, draped in garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds and white flowers, and multiple gold necklaces. Two smaller consorts or attendant murtis stand on either side, also in blue jewelled dress and garlanded. A red silk drape hangs below, and an ornate gold arched prabhavali frames the shrine. No people are visible; this is a festival-style alankaram of the deity murti.
