Indoor shrine photograph at KAILASA Hyderabad. A shirtless priest in white dhoti with an orange-and-gold shoulder cloth and a white-and-orange head band, wearing white-and-orange beaded garlands, sits at left holding a brass aarti lamp with a lit flame and a small offering in his other hand, near a brass lamp stand. At right sits a golden seated statue wearing a red-and-gold turban, red robes, layered gold necklaces and a shawl, with its right hand raised in blessing, draped in red and white flower garlands and a heap of rose petals. Behind it stands a dark deity murti with a silver crown and garlands beneath a golden arch with a red and white cloth canopy. A table holds bananas, turmeric, kumkum, oil lamps and brass bowls. A yellow sign reads KAILASA HYDERABAD and partial Hindi text.
