A corner altar in a room with cream walls and white window blinds. Seated at the centre is a life-size cutout figure of a smiling man in a red turban, red robes and a rudraksha mala, holding a trident and raising one hand in blessing; garlands of white flowers hang from his neck. Only a printed cutout is present, so no living person is shown. Before him sit a golden Sri Yantra plate, a brass tray of white chrysanthemums, kumkum and turmeric, and a white marble Ganesha statue on the left. A framed copper yantra and a framed painting of a deity hang on the walls, and a dark murti stands on a red cloth at right. A handwritten pink-and-white sign reads KAILASA SAN DIEGO.
