A woman in an orange and yellow sari with a white forehead mark and red bindi stands at right, smiling at the camera beside a shrine decorated with marigold garlands and red and white bunting. Behind her a large painted portrait shows a smiling man with a red-orange turban, a white tilak, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, holding a hand raised in blessing; a small golden statue of a similar figure in orange robes and a red turban stands in front. Below are brass puja vessels, lamps, flowers and a red-patterned cloth on the altar, and framed deity prints of Shiva surround the shrine. A sign reads KAILASA ARUPUKOTTAI, and a portrait labelled Paramahamsa Nithyananda hangs at the left.
