Inside the KAILASA Toronto temple, a bare-chested priest in an orange dhoti and a blue headband stands at a black shrine, ringing a brass bell in his right hand and facing a central gold-framed deity shrine with garlanded murtis. Beside him is a Shivalinga with an orange cloth and flower garland, and oil lamps, a brass plate and a metal bowl sit on the altar. Flanking shrines hold more deity murtis, gold arches and purple and blue drapes frame the main altar. On the right stands a tall orange banner printed with a white line portrait of a seated figure wearing rudraksha beads, and no name is legible. Only one physical person is visible.
