A seated figure in a red turban and red-orange robes, with a red bindi, rudraksha mala and white flower garland, raises one hand in blessing and holds a trident-like staff in the other, sitting cross-legged on a dais in a corner room. A paper sign reading KAILASA SAN DIEGO is taped to the wall beside a framed deity print of a Venkateswara-style murti with gold ornaments. Before the seated figure stands a shrine table draped in orange cloth with a gold yantra plate, a white Ganesha statue, brass pots, pomegranates, a white cloth, saffron in a bowl, and small brass lamps. Two metal figures of deities sit on a shelf near the window, and steel thali plates of food and sweets are laid on the floor in front. Probable Swamiji is seated in the centre, identified by the turban, rudraksha mala and garland cues.
