A decorated puja altar at a KAILASA temple setting, with no people visible. A large printed backdrop shows a smiling man in an orange-red turban and saffron garment seated before ornate arches and columns; he is a depiction on a backdrop, not a physical person in the scene. In front, a white-draped table holds a bronze-toned figure, a green, white and yellow garland, and marigold garlands. A small framed picture of an ornate temple gopuram sits on an easel at left, and a second altar at right is trimmed with orange and yellow marigold garlands and holds small deity figures. A round tray with offerings and small brass items rests on a pink cushion with purple bolsters, and a yellow framed mandala-style card leans at the lower right.
