A photograph inside a shrine at KAILASA Sripuram, Hyderabad. A shirtless man in a white turban and white dhoti stands center-left, holding up a magenta silk cloth with a paper label, wearing a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant. Two girls in orange-saffron dresses stand at right with palms pressed together in namaskar, and a young boy with a tilak and orange cloth stands at far left, hands folded. Behind them is a golden deity murti with flower garlands, flanked by tall brass oil lamps. A white sign reads KAILASA HYDERA. Before a seated golden statue of a woman in a maroon sari with a garland, bananas, sweets, flowers and fruit are arranged as offerings on a red cloth. The scene shows a Grupurnima ritual offering.
