Photograph of a temple shrine display dressed with garlands of white jasmine, yellow marigold and red-pink flowers. Dominant ornate gilded metal arch frames a brass Sri Yantra-style object set on a red and gold brocade cloth, with an open flame and a small white bowl at the lower edge. Behind, a dark stone Shivalinga wrapped in a red cloth stands before a red and pink draped backdrop. A gilded standing figure in red garments with a garland and a small brass-finished figure appear at the left; a sign reads KAILASA AUSTRALIA. No people are clearly visible in the frame apart from a partially visible arm of a figure at the right edge.A photograph of a shrine group of metal deity murtis decorated for worship. The central figure is a murti beneath a metal hooded serpent canopy with a kalasha-like base, draped in orange cloth with blue-purple square patterns and wreathed in yellow marigolds and pink roses. Flanking it are two standing murtis in orange garments: the left one wears an orange turban with a blue jewel and a yellow-and-white flower garland, and the right one wears an orange-gold skirt, a red tilak and a jewelled necklace with yellow and pink flowers. Rose petals and white flowers are scattered on the black base and floor, and a blurred wisp of smoke rises at left. Two more decorated figures in blue and purple stand at the top corners. No people are visible.A bald, bespectacled man with white hair sits cross-legged on a patterned rug in a meditation pose, shirtless, with black trousers, hands resting on his knees in mudra and eyes closed. A small rudraksha-style pendant hangs at his chest. Behind him stands a shrine: a large cut-out or printed figure of a man in a red-and-gold shawl with a red turban, rudraksha and ceremonial beaded necklaces, hands raised in blessing, placed beside a tiger-skin print. A framed painting shows a trident-bearing figure, with a small framed portrait and offerings on a red-draped table. Swamiji (probable) is indicated by the turban, shawl and rudraksha cues on the shrine figure, which is a depiction; the seated man is a devotee in meditation and his identity is uncertain.
