Centrally placed is a framed portrait labelled with Tamil text, showing a seated figure on a gilded throne with a garland of pink and white flowers around the frame.

Before the portrait is a small table with an orange cloth, a brass vessel and flower offerings. Four women and a young man stand at right: a woman in a white sari with a green beaded necklace presses hand to chest, another in white sari and gold border stands beside her, and a woman in a printed sari with gold border joins palms. A young man in white holds an orange flag and wears a pendant with a small photo. A tall decorated banner with colourful panels stands behind them.
