A temple shrine photograph showing three metal deity murtis of Lord Muruga with his consorts, adorned with white and pink flower garlands, a golden crown and necklaces, placed on a gold cloth-covered platform before a gilded arch. A person in a red-orange robe with a rudraksha mala sits at left, hands joined and offering flowers near the deities. In front, a large silver-coloured kalasha or object is draped with white jasmine garlands and a gold pendant, with a red-and-gold cloth draped beside it. A brass oil lamp stands at right, and a person in orange robes sits at the lower right near a tray of offerings. The wall is tiled in brown and the ceiling is pale blue. The scene suggests a puja or prana prathishta ceremony, though no event name is visible.
