A photograph inside a temple shrine with garlanded deity murtis and floral garlands. In the centre, a man in saffron-orange robes with a shaved head holds up a framed portrait of a bearded sannyasi, and a line of devotees offers prayers before it. A bell and a black stone lingam sit at the lower left. A woman in orange robes stands behind him and another monastic-robed man stands at the right in orange and gold drapery. A young woman in lavender and a younger woman in a patterned top, along with a man in a blue jacket, stand at left in the queue. The portrait and shrine setting suggest a puja offering.

Indoor temple scene at a Hindu shrine decorated with white, red and multicoloured flower garlands and gold ornamental deity figures. A priest in orange-saffron robes stands at centre holding a framed portrait of a bearded man in orange headwear and saffron clothing, with pink and orange offerings on a tray. Around him, several young people in casual and salwar-style outfits, including a person in a blue jacket, a woman in a lavender and pink dress, and a woman in a purple top, reach toward the tray. A man in a gold-brown shawl stands at the right edge beside the shrine. The portrait is a printed photograph rather than a person, so the framed man is not counted among the physical people.April 2008 - Kailaasa In LA EventsApril 2008 - Kailaasa In LA EventsApril 2008 - Kailaasa In LA EventsApril 2008 - Kailaasa In LA EventsA devotional scene before a golden deity murti adorned with flower garlands and a golden crown.

On the right, a man in orange robes, with a shaved head and a rudraksha mala, sits beside the shrine, his hands joined in a gesture of worship; the a person label cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so he is described as a robed priest. In the foreground a woman in a white top and blue patterned skirt bends forward to touch a raised platform laid with offerings. Two standing devotees, a man in a striped shirt and a woman in a cream top with gold jewellery, watch nearby. A brass oil lamp and bell sit on the platform.April 2008 - Kailaasa In LA EventsA photograph inside a temple shrine hung with marigold garlands and decorated deity figures.
