Photograph of a temple shrine in a plain metal-walled hall. Centre is a seated bronze-coloured statue of a saint in red-orange robes and a black turban with white forehead markings, rudraksha beads on the chest, hands in a blessing gesture. A small framed white sign on an easel reads KAILASA AUSTRALIA. The statue sits on a gold ornate throne backed by maroon velvet with a garland of white and orange flowers. Red velvet covers the altar, with a brass oil lamp, a brass tray of fruit and flowers, a green-leaved pot, and a pink cushion. Another seated statue in pink and gold stands at right, and smaller figures sit at left. A flame from a clay oil lamp in the foreground is blurred. No living people are visible.
