Two 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.

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.

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 1/19/20212021-01-19Two young sannyasi-clad boys sit on a wooden platform before a large golden-walled backdrop with an ornate white carved arch.
