A photograph of a shrine set against a plain white wall. Centre, a large life-size figure seated in a meditation pose wears a rust-orange turban with a white tilak, an orange-red dhoti-style robe, layered flower garlands in yellow and pink, and a gold necklace; this is a statue, not a living person. Two gold-coloured deity murtis stand on the altar in front of it, a standing deity murti with red and gold garments and a single deity murti in red-gold robes flanked by others. On the right, a framed printed image shows a seated figure with a flower garland. A brown flag with a Nandi bull and a temple-shrine motif hangs behind, and gold-tasselled banners in green, orange and red with elephant patterns frame the scene. A small white placard reads KAILASA GENEVA. The altar is draped in gold-patterned brocade with a flower-garland offering and a small model of a temple on the right.
