The boy on the left holds a coconut over a small wooden table while the older man on the right sits with palms joined in anjali, both wearing white face masks. A potted plant stands at right against a cream block wall. The portrait cutout is a printed depiction, not a physical person, so the two physically present people are priests performing a coconut offering before the image.2021-01-12KAILASA LOS ANGELES, USA on 12/18/20202020-12-18Two young shaved-headed... no wait: two young men with tall black hair-turbans sit cross-legged on an orange cushion before a microphone and a wooden lectern. The left youth wears an orange shawl, rudraksha mala and a pendant, holding a coconut on his open palm. The right youth, wearing a white face mask, presses his palms together in anjali and has white vibhuti lines and rudraksha bracelets. Behind them stands a large life-size cardboard cutout of a smiling bearded figure in a red-orange turban, gold necklaces, garlands and gold armbands, one hand raised in blessing. A brass bell and a brass oil lamp sit at right, with marigold garlands nearby. Gold-toned curtains and carved white panels frame the scene.2020-12-24KAILASA LOS ANGELES, USA on 12/30/20202020-12-30
