A night photograph of a black stone murti seated under an ornate gold arch decorated with floral carving. The figure wears a red headcloth with a white tilak mark, a silver necklace, and a white dhoti with gold border, while a red and gold cloth drapes over one side. Garlands of white jasmine and red, yellow and green flowers hang from the arch and cover the figure. In front, a white marble pedestal bears a rudraksha mala, a kalasha-like brass item and a small shivalinga-style object with flower garlands. A black plaque with Tamil text sits on the red and white base. No people are visible.
