A photograph of a seated figure in a corner of a room, dressed in an orange-red sannyasi-style robe with a white-and-red striped shawl, a rudraksha mala and a white turban, smiling and raising one hand in blessing. The figure is a life-size statue or mannequin-like display rather than a living person, and is presented as a shrine. In front is a yellow-draped altar table with apples, a brass plate of white flowers, a sweet dish, a small brass kalasha-like vessel, a white marble Ganesha statue, a gold yantra-style plaque, and a small gilded temple structure. A framed tanjore-style painting of a deity hangs on the wall above, along with a framed wooden yantra. A handwritten pink sign reads KAILASA SAN DIEGO. Venetian blinds and a window with greenery are visible at right. A magazine cover with a partial face sits at the lower right edge.
