A photograph of a padapuja or abhishekam-style offering in a dim indoor room with a pink floor covering. A woman in a red blouse and dark blue sari with gold border sits at the left, reaching forward to place pink and white flowers on the feet of a seated figure whose lower body is wrapped in blue cloth and whose feet are adorned with flower garlands. Nearby stand copper pots, a copper bowl of rose petals, a brass tray with small items and foil-wrapped objects, and a small oil lamp. A seated person in green clothing holds an open notebook at the lower right, and another white-clad person is partly visible at the upper left.

On the floor are brass plates of flowers, a copper kalasha, small oil lamps with lit flames, a brass aarti lamp and a small brass vessel.

A large seated statue on the right wears a garland of pink and white flowers, a blue cloth draped below, and raises its hand in blessing; it is a murti, not a living person. Three standing metal deity figures stand against the wall at left. Along the floor, brass plates, bowls, oil lamps, fruit and sweets are arranged on white cloths. Several devotees sit in front: a woman in a red blouse and orange-gold sari pours from a vessel, a woman in a green and purple sari sits in the centre, a woman in a grey patterned outfit sits at right, a man in white kurta sits behind the altar, and children in white and grey clothing join with folded hands, one girl in pink holding a bell-like brass item. Roughly eight to ten physical people are visible.2021-03-11 +1 copiesKAILASA SINGAPORE on 10/20/20202020-10-20KAILASA MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA on 3/11/20212021-03-11 +1 copiesPhoto 99226452022-10-04 +1 copiesKAILASA DHUMBARAI, NEPAL on 4/19/20212021-04-19KAILASA SAN JOSE, USA on 7/13/20222022-07-13 +1 copies
