A photograph of a golden statue of a seated sage in a deep red-maroon robe with a gold-bordered shawl, wearing a maroon turban with gold ornaments, a rudraksha-style multi-strand necklace and coin-like beads, draped in thick garlands of white jasmine and pink flowers, raising one hand in a blessing gesture and holding a staff. Behind and above is a black-stone deity murti with a crown, ornate jewelled necklaces and a decorated backdrop of green, red and gold embroidery, set within a golden arched shrine with hanging lamps and brass oil lamps on stands. A flower offering sits on a pink tray in front. A white sign with blue lettering is partly visible at right, reading KAILA... and HYDERA..., indicating a KAILASA centre in Hyderabad.
