Indoor 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.
