KAILASA SINGAPORE on 12/3/2021

A woman in a rust-red and brown patterned long-sleeved dress sits at a low red-draped table performing a puja. She holds a small brass bell in one hand and a brass implement in the other, with lit candles and brass oil lamps, bowls of offerings, a brass kalasha-style pitcher and a small brass lamp on the table. On the right, a shelf with ornate gold-and-red deity murtis, decorated with gold garlands and jewellery, stands near a lit brass lamp. The wall behind is pale pink.

A woman with grey hair in a bun sits cross-legged on the floor before a decorated altar, wearing a yellow and red-checked silk wrap and a yellow shawl, with a white tilak on her forehead. Before her is a low wooden platform covered with a colourful geometric yantra-like mandala of coloured powders and flower petals, surrounded by fruits, coconuts, bowls of grains, lit brass oil lamps and banana leaves. Behind her, a green draped table holds ornate metal kalasha pots and decorated deity murtis with conical painted headdresses. On the left, a framed wall-mounted portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" is on the wall beside a standing cutout of a figure in orange and red wearing a garland and beads, seated on a red throne. Several framed photos hang on the upper wall. One physical person is present.

A small temple room with a home shrine of deity murtis and framed pictures on a draped altar at left. In the centre, a bare-chested man in white dhoti with a red floral garland sits on a striped mat reading from a sheet, with brass lamps, plates of fruit, sweets and flowers before him. A woman in a maroon top and black face mask sits opposite, tending a yellow-draped deity figure. At right, a wall shrine holds a portrait of a seated figure in saffron-red robes and a crown-like turban, and a monitor shows an online session with several small video participants.

A woman in a cream-coloured sari with a gold border sits cross-legged on a patterned mat in a home shrine, ringing a gold handbell with her raised right hand while holding a small object in her left. A brass tray in front holds puja items, small oil lamps and bowls. A golden kalasha-style vessel filled with red flowers and a lit lamp stands on an ornate gold base beside a bowl of rose petals. Behind them, a shelf displays small deity murtis and framed images, and a television sits above. The scene suggests a puja or aarti performed at home, with a silver tray and an open silver dish on the floor.

Before her stands a golden altar draped in yellow cloth, with three decorated deity murtis wearing garlands and bright clothing, a central figure in gold and pink, and a small figure in front. A cosmic starry backdrop fills the wall behind. At the far right, a portrait statue of a man in an orange turban and saffron-red garment with a rudraksha mala is garlanded. Marigold and rose garlands, fruit, flowers, oil lamps and offerings are arranged on tables; a small urn and a tray of sweets sit to the side.

In front are brass thalis of offerings, small bowls, and a brass oil lamp, with a red-and-gold decorated deity figure on a wooden stool to the right.
