A photo taken indoors at a KAILASA Trinidad & Tobago event with yellow draped curtains behind a shrine-style altar. A large printed portrait of a figure in an orange-red robe, a turban-style crown, and a garland of flowers sits on the left, with hands raised in a blessing gesture; this is a depiction, not a person physically present. On the right, a shaved-headed man with long swept-back hair, a white tilak on his forehead, rudraksha malas, and a bare upper body with a white sash sits in front of the altar. On the altar are a pineapple, bananas, flowers, a brass bowl, and a red offering plate with a lit flame. On the left edge, a woman with braided hair in a light garment sits near a table with a small fan. A paper sign reads KAILASA TRINIDAD TOBAGO.
