A shrine arrangement against a white wall. Central cutout of a smiling bearded man in an orange-red turban, rudraksha mala-like beads and saffron-orange robes, with a garland of yellow and white flowers, a gold chest ornament and bangles, raising one hand in blessing; he appears to be a printed or standee figure, so the photo shows a depiction. Before him stand three small gold-toned murti figures in red and pink garments with floral garlands, and a framed portrait on the right shows a seated figure in white with a flower garland. Behind them hang brown and orange fabric banners printed with a reclining bull and temple imagery. A paper sign reads KAILASA GENEVA. On the right a pair of wooden sandals or paduka sits on a red cloth with a garland and rudraksha beads. The table is covered with a gold and maroon brocade cloth.
