Two women sit cross-legged on blue mats on a white marble floor in a temple hall. The woman in front wears a grey knit cardigan over a rust top with dark grey trousers and grey socks, hands clasped in her lap, eyes lowered. Behind her, a woman in a cream shawl with a red and multicoloured border sits and looks down at a small book or paper. Behind them are rows of black stone statues of seated sages in orange robes with rudraksha-style beaded garlands, hands in mudra, on a gold-toned tiered platform. At left a gold sign reads KAILASA TORONTO CANADA on an easel, and a deity murti in red and pink is partly visible.
