A young boy, shirtless and wearing a white dhoti with a gold border, performs aarti with a lit flame in front of a shrine within a gold arched frame. Three deity murtis stand on a blue-draped platform, decorated with multicoloured and yellow flower garlands; the central figure wears a crown and a white and gold garment. Brass oil lamps flank the shrine, a small brass vessel and kalasha sit at the base, and a framed image decorated with peacock feathers and flowers stands at right. A sign reading KAILASA AVADI is placed on the platform. Orange walls and a wooden cabinet frame the scene, with a painted portrait in the background.
