Foreground attendees include a man in a plaid shirt, a man in a cream kurta, a woman in a yellow sari, and a woman in a red sari with a brown shawl. Near the front, several people sit on the floor, including a girl in yellow and a woman in green, in front of a low table with flowers, a brass lamp and ritual items. Gold-ornamented shrines hold deity murtis in the background, including a figure in orange robes and blue-skinned murti with a bow. A red and white sign on the centre altar reads KAILASA TORONTO. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so no candidate is named.
