A large white tent hung with colourful lanterns and streamers serves as an event hall with rows of white chairs and draped round tables. Three large wooden deity statues stand on a red carpet, each on an orange and striped cloth base, with a small shivalinga and a kalasha-like vessel in front. The central figure seated in green and blue-green garments with a striped hat holds a small object, while the flanking figures wear red and white ornamental garments with heavy beaded necklaces and multicoloured embellishments. Several visitors walk through the hall, including people in orange tops, white shirts and saris. The photo shows the Paramashivoham delegates' welcome area at Adi Kailaasa, Bengaluru Aadheenam.
