A woman in a cream and gold sari with a gold-bordered blouse and beaded mala sits on the floor at a rattan side table, smiling and placing a small golden shrine model with a red flame on it, beside a brass pot and offerings. Behind her a large framed portrait labelled KAILASA KENT UK on a gold sign shows a smiling person in a blue-purple garment with a red and white garland and a turban-style head covering; a lit oil lamp and peacock feathers stand before it. Brass urns, a tray of petals and fruit, a mirror and a deity figurine complete the shrine corner. The portrait is a printed depiction of a person, and the sign text reads KAILASA KENT UK.
