A photograph of a shrine room with gold-painted walls and red-curtained niches. In the foreground, a gold-painted seated figure sits on an ornate gilded throne, wearing a maroon turban, a maroon wrap, a white beaded and jewelled collar and a white garland; one hand is raised in blessing. Behind it, a four-armed deity murti in red garments and a conical crown sits in a gilded arch. Smaller gilded figures in similar niches flank the scene, and a brass plate with offerings sits in front of the throne. A wooden sign reads KAILASA KASHI and BHARATH. The figures are statues and depictions, not living people.
