A photograph inside a temple shrine at KAILASA Tondiarpet. Three large gilded metal deity statues stand in a niche under a golden arch decorated with garlands of white flowers and red roses; the central figure wears a silver-embellished crown and holds a trident-like staff. A standing figure in a sheer pink-and-red garment and a seated figure in purple and green stand among them. A cutout portrait of a bearded man in a pink turban, layered beads and gold necklaces, seated in a meditative pose, is placed at the right beside a small framed photograph and a shelf of figurines including Ganesha. A green cloth covers the floor and a red cloth covers the altar. In the foreground a priest in white dhoti with gold border performs a puja, pouring from a copper vessel over brass plates holding flowers, coconut halves, bananas, lamps and a kalasha. A sign reads KAILASA TONDIARPET BHARAT.
