Photograph of a temple shrine at KAILASA Tondiarpet during a laghu pooja. A standing priest in a cream and gold sari with a cloth tied on his head stands at left with hands folded in prayer beside a lit oil lamp. Behind him are three deity murtis: the central figure is a dark image draped in a red and gold cloth, flanked by two white-clad murtis with garlands and crowns. A small kalasha-like offering and brass lamps sit on an orange cloth and red mat. At right, a white-draped table displays many colourful figurines of deities, animals and seated figures. Blue and green paper garlands hang across the top of the room, and a plaque on the wall reads KAILASA TONDIORPET.
