A ritual altar display in a wood-panelled room at KAILASA Goyave, Guadeloupe. Central figure is a large framed or printed portrait of a smiling man with an orange turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garlands, holding a trident, dressed in blue and gold; this is a depiction, and a probable Swamiji by swept-back appearance and cues, though no physical person is present. Beside it stands a deity murti in blue with a yellow-and-white garland. Flower petals (red and white), palm and bamboo plants, a brass puja tray, wooden maracas-style instruments, a brass kalasha-style vessel, small brass lamps and a yellow cloth-covered table complete the arrangement. A standing sign reads KAILASA GUADELOUPE GOYAVE. A framed photo of a man in a dhoti holding a staff hangs on the wall, with a Nataraja murti nearby.
