A photograph of a shrine room with pale turquoise walls. A man in a white and gold-bordered headwrap and bare chest, wearing a long rudraksha mala, leans forward to light or adjust a small brass oil lamp on an ornate gold-and-blue stand decorated with yellow flowers. Behind him is a sign reading KAILASA KORATTUR. On the left stands a framed deity image of a multi-armed, multi-headed figure with a flower garland and red flowers. In the centre, a cutout photograph of a smiling figure in red and orange robes, wearing a red headdress, rudraksha mala and flower garlands, stands beside the lamp. The man is the only physical person visible in the scene. Probable identity cues are not clearly enough to confirm the shrine photo subject as a person, so the a person field is unsure.
