A painted temple mural framed by an ornate arch shows a green-skinned deity figure standing within a stylised fire of red and orange flames at the centre. The deity wears a crown, jewelled ornaments and a blue-patterned lower garment, and holds a ritual implement. Flanking the central arch, painted devotees in blue and orange clothing sit with hands folded in anjali, some wearing turbans, while on the right a bearded sannyasi with long matted hair, a rudraksha mala and bare chest sits beside a fire pit or altar. Above, a Tamil inscription appears on a blue-green panel. The scene is a painted depiction, not physical people.
