  The multipole moments of the $J^P = 3^-$ tensor mesons are obtained using the
light cone sum rules. Our results on multipole moments are compared with the
predictions of light-cone helicity formalism within SU(3) flavor symmetry, and
it is observed that the results in both approaches are quite compatible with
each other. The obtained multipole moments of tensor mesons provide deeper
insights into their properties and understanding of the strong and
electromagnetic decay channels of these mesons.
