A dark stone murti of Lord Murugan seated on a peacock, with a spear (vel) raised in one hand, is installed at the centre of a shrine. Pearl and bead necklaces adorn the deity, and a leopard-print cloth draws over the seat. Flanking him are two black stone figures of Valli and Devasena in green and magenta silk sarees with gold borders, each wearing layered pearl garlands. Behind them a blue backdrop of peacock feathers fills the wall, with two hanging brass lamps above. Red rose petals are scattered on the pedestal and the floor.
