Indoor shrine set in a bay window with wooden frames and snowy trees outside. A seated figure in a red turban and red-gold silk shawl with gold embroidery, wearing rudraksha beads, sits behind the shrine and holds a long staff; the appearance is consistent with a Swamiji (probable) figure seated on a throne-like platform. Beside him is a framed portrait labelled with a KAILASA sign, showing a robed figure in orange with a flower garland meditating before a banyan tree. Brass deity murtis, a Ganesha figure, yellow roses, and a red velvet-draped puja pedestal decorated with marigolds stand in front, with colourful patterned floor cushions and pink flowers below.
