Photograph of a shrine altar with a large printed portrait of a smiling bearded man wearing a tall pink-and-white crown, a white tilak on his forehead, and a gold and red robe with an ornate gold waist sash and a jewelled pendant necklace. The portrait is draped in yellow, orange, red and white garlands and green leaves. Flanking it are gold-coloured deity murtis and figurines, a small gold-decorated figure in front, and a pink rose arrangement at lower left. A placard reads KAILASA PARIS on a golden draped altar cloth with a brass plate below. No physical people are visible. The portrait is a depiction of a person; the printed caption identifies the shrine, and the portrait's appearance includes distinctive crown, tilak and ornate robe cues, so this is a probable depiction.
