A photograph of a red-walled shrine altar at KAILASA Arupukottai, decorated with framed deity pictures, rudraksha malas and green leaf garlands. A printed sign reads KAILASA ARUPPUKOTTAI. On the left stands a painted or statue figure in saffron-orange robes, a crown-like headdress and a rudraksha mala, flanked by a large poster of a smiling figure wearing an orange turban and white tilak, holding a staff and bearing rudraksha malas and gold necklaces. Brass lamps, a kalasha-style vessel, a bowl of apples, bananas and coconut, and a tiered gold-toned tray sit on a red cloth. Several framed prints show deities and temples. No live people are present. Visible appearance cues in the poster are consistent with the page's description of a person, so the figure is labelled a probable depiction.
