Photo of a shrine room where two young women in orange-red garments with white forehead and arm markings sit on the floor with palms pressed together in prayer, facing a gilded throne draped in teal and blue cloth. On the throne sits a golden seated figure in yellow-orange cloth with a gold necklace, flanked by two standing figurines in magenta garments with red headdresses and garlands. A framed black-and-white portrait with a Tamil caption hangs behind, and a brass bell, a curved golden blade, white flowers and brass lamps sit nearby. Two wooden trays of offerings with brass bowls, flowers, a conch shell and a small lamp rest on the floor in front of the worshippers. A white sign reading KAILASA RAJAPALAYAM is visible at right.
