Inside a gold-decorated shrine, a priest with a white head cloth, bare chest and white dhoti sits at left, lighting an oil lamp or performing aarti before a large golden statue of a seated figure. The statue wears a deep red turban, red robe, layered gold necklaces and a rudraksha-style mala, with a raised hand in blessing, and is garlanded with red roses, yellow marigolds and white flowers. Rose petals and offerings sit on a blue cloth and wooden tray, including bananas, a bowl of turmeric powder, a bowl of red powder and small brass vessels. Behind the statue, a dark deity murti with a crown and red garland stands in a gilded arch, flanked by tall brass lamp stands. A yellow sign reads KAILASA HYDERABAD BHARAT.
