Two 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.

The devotee on the right, with a red bindi, wears a white mask and rudraksha malas and holds a coconut out over a wooden table. The wall behind is yellow block. The backdrop image is a printed portrait, not a physical person, so it is not counted in the people field.2021-01-09Two saffron-robed sannyasis sit before an ornate white carved throne backed by gold drapery and potted palms. The man on the left, wearing a white face mask and a dark turban, presses his palms together in anjali while holding a microphone; a rudraksha mala hangs at his chest. The younger man beside him wears a dark turban, orange cloth and beaded necklaces, and holds a coconut above a wooden table, seemingly in a ritual offering. Behind them stands a large printed cutout depicting a bearded figure in a red turban, gold necklaces and a garland, raising one hand in blessing; it is a depiction on a board, not a physical person. A small brass oil lamp, a bell and red flowers sit on a side table.2020-12-19KAILASA LOS ANGELES, USA on 12/18/20202020-12-18Two young saffron-robed sannyasi-style devotees sit in white upholstered chairs before a large framed portrait of a smiling bearded man in a maroon turban, draped in a red robe and wearing a long garland of marigolds and red flowers with gold ornaments. The portrait is set within an ornate white carved arch, with a golden kalasha-style base below it. The seated figure on the left holds a coconut in his hands on a low table and wears a white face mask, rudraksha malas and dark hair wrapped in a black cloth. The figure on the right, also masked, holds his palms together in namaskar, wears a wristwatch and a mala, and has a dark head covering. Green plants flank the altar. Both seated men are the only physical people, and the portrait is a depiction.2021-01-03Two young men in saffron-orange cloth sit cross-legged in front of a yellow cinder-block wall, both with palms pressed together in anjali and wearing white face masks. The man on the right wears a black turban and rudraksha malas; the man on the left has dark hair and a wristwatch. A brass kalasha and a coconut sit on the low table before them, with a microphone at left. Behind them is a large printed cutout of a smiling man in a rust-red turban, gold ornate necklaces and a gold-toned pendant, one hand raised in blessing, shown as a depiction rather than a physical person. The printed figure's appearance does not clearly match the a person cues, so the candidate is uncertain.2021-01-10KAILASA LOS ANGELES, USA on 1/5/20212021-01-05
