A golden-yellow seated sculpture pair of a male and female deity murti under a canopy, both coated in liquid. The male figure wears a tall crown and a dhoti-style lower garment, the female figure a matching crown and jewellery. Two men stand at the left, one in a yellow shirt pouring liquid from a white vessel, the other in a white dhoti and orange-red shawl holding a pot. Carved pillars frame the shrine, a red curtain hangs behind, and a sign above reads Sri Anandeshwarar Sametha Anandeshwari. Wet floor and steps surround the platform.
