A small shrine set against a plain white wall in a room with wooden floors. Behind a table draped in gold-bordered red brocade stands a large printed cutout of a smiling bearded man in a red turban and red robe, wearing layered garlands; the figure appears to be a printed portrait rather than a physical person. In front of it sit small red-and-gold deity murti figures, a red garland, yellow flowers, pink roses in a vase, and a tray with a garland and lamps. Two tall flag poles with ornamental banners in red, green, orange and blue with elephant motifs flank the shrine, with a maroon flag hanging between them. A white sign reads KAILASA GENEVA.
