Shrine niche with a large cutout photograph of a smiling man with a red turban and red saffron-toned robe, hands raised in blessing, wearing a red-beaded rudraksha mala and a white and orange garland. The cutout is printed, not a physical person, and the page identifies it only by its printed sign. Before it stands a large brass pedestal with a dark blue cloth draped over it, decorated with gold embroidery, topped with a brass bowl of yellow and white flowers. Yellow marigolds and white flowers are arranged on the altar; a small brass oil lamp with a lit flame and a bell sit at lower left, and a lit lamp sits at lower right. Wall niches hold brass bells. A small framed picture of a temple shrine with a deity sits at left. A sign reads KAILASA PORUR.
