KAILASA HOUSTON, USA on 2/7/2022

A photograph of a ceremonial shrine arrangement with a seated figure in the centre, dressed in a red turban, purple and gold shawl and a heavy gold and beaded necklace, one hand raised in blessing. The figure appears to be a depiction rather than a live person, set on a golden-draped throne with a tall staff behind it. Brass oil lamps flank the throne, and a round maroon-covered table in front holds ornate gold kalasha pots, silver offering plates, small cups, flowers and jewellery. Red velvet curtains with colourful tassels frame the scene, and a standing statue in orange and gold stands above. The arrangement suggests a puja display at a KAILASA centre in Houston, USA.
