A photograph of a seated figure in a corner shrine room with an orange-draped altar. The figure wears a red turban, a red robe, a white and red garland, and a long rudraksha mala, raises one hand in blessing and holds a trident-like staff. A handwritten paper sign reads KAILASA SAN DIEGO on the wall. Altar items include a white Ganesha statue, golden deity figures, a golden yantra plate, a tray with bananas and a pink flower, a bowl of red powder, and a dark Shiva lingam with rudraksha beads. Framed images of a deity hang on the wall and a window with blinds lets in daylight. The seated figure appears to be a person in ceremonial dress, but the identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
