Two men stand in a yellow-walled room offering respects before a life-size cutout depiction of a smiling figure in an orange and yellow robe with an orange turban, wearing a long rudraksha mala and layered flower garlands in red, pink and white. The man in the center, in a beige jacket, raises his right hand to his forehead while his left hand holds a small offering. The man at left, in a white shirt and glasses, looks on. Framed photographs on the walls show orange-robed figures and a caption reading 1994 and Vedanta and Tantra Guru Mahayogi related text. The setting resembles an ashram display room.

The standing cutout wears an orange and yellow turban, a saffron and yellow dhoti-style garment, multiple rudraksha malas, a gold ornamental pendant, and a large garland of red, white and yellow flowers. A seated figure in a red turban and red garments with a garland, holding a pink flower and raising one hand in greeting, sits on a white plastic stool with a blue brocade cloth. The cutout bears a strong resemblance to the appearance cues of the Swamiji candidate, with saffron clothing, a turban and rudraksha malas, though the figure is a printed cutout rather than a physical person.2024-05-10Indoor photograph in a temple hall with yellow walls and framed paintings. A man with long curly hair and a grey beard, dressed in white dhoti and shawl with gold border, stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Facing him, a smiling man with short grey hair and a vertical tilak wears a cream shirt and cream dhoti and receives a thick garland of pink and yellow flowers. Behind them hangs a gold-framed panel with photographs and printed text about an avatar, and shelves of books labelled United States of KAILASA. A timestamp reads 28 Mar 2024 19:35:46. No candidate is visibly identifiable as a person by appearance cues, so the role is given as a devotee receiving the greeting.2024-03-31
