A seated figure in an ornate shrine display stands against a white wall, flanked by two tall flag poles with orange, green and maroon fabric. The central figure wears a tall orange-and-red turban with a gold emblem, red and orange robes, layered garlands of yellow and purple flowers, a gold necklace and a rudraksha-style mala, and gold armbands. This is a statue or painted depiction rather than a living person. On the table in front are two small red-clad deity murtis, yellow flower petals scattered on a gold-patterned cloth, and a red-and-orange flower arrangement on a small wooden stand. A green-leaved floral arrangement sits in a glass vase, and a framed photo with a garland is at the right. A white paper sign reads KAILASA GENEVA.
