Each panel is labelled in red text such as Kailasa Toronto, Kailasa San Diego, Kailasa Malaysia, Kailasa Taiwan, Kailasa Los Angeles, Kailasa Cyprus and Kailasa St. Louis. The shrines hold deity murtis draped in colourful silk and flower garlands, brass lamps, kalasha pots, marigolds and offering plates. Several panels show a person in white or saffron clothing performing puja or aarti before the altar, and a few show a person seated in a pale garment. No single person can be clearly identified as a person, so the presence of a candidate is uncertain.A photograph inside a temple hall with a colourful shrine at the back, lit with oil lamps and decorated with deity murtis and gold ornaments. A shaved-headed man in white stands at the shrine, apparently performing a puja. A seated figure in saffron clothing sits on the right side of the hall. Many devotees in saris and salwar kameez, in pink, maroon, yellow and red, sit cross-legged on the floor facing the shrine, some with their heads bowed and hands folded. The floor is covered with patterned mats.2010-10-03A screenshot of a video conference grid showing about twenty-five tiles, each labelled with a KAILASA centre name such as Kailasa Toronto, Kailasa Malaysia, Kailasa Singapore, Kailasa Taiwan, Kailasa Gambia, Kailasa Sierra Leone and Kailasa Coimbatore. Most tiles show deity murtis decorated with garlands, flower and gold ornaments, lit oil lamps and kalasha-style offerings on altars with red and gold drapery. Several tiles show a person in a dhoti with a shawl performing puja, lighting a lamp or waving an aarti flame. One tile shows a seated figure in saffron clothing with a turban and rudraksha, though the image is too small to confirm his identity, and another shows a white-robed priest with a red turban. The collage has no visible labels indicating individual physical headcounts beyond the tiles themselves.2024-10-06Photo 11729979December 05 20122012-12-05
