A woman with grey hair pulled back in a bun bends forward in a white and gold-bordered sari to arrange offerings on a tray at a shrine. Behind her, two dark-faced deity murti stand in gilded arched niches, one in red and one draped in a red sari with a silver necklace, each garlanded with white flowers and orange blossoms. Above the centre, three framed black-and-white portraits show a bearded man and a woman with a white-draped figure, the centre portrait garlanded. A small sign reads KAILASA THIRUCHENGODU. On the tray sit white lumps and red flowers beside a conch shell, brass bowls, a kalasha and fruit on a striped floor cloth.
