Two young saffron-robed sannyasi-style devotees sit before a wooden low table in a temple hall. The boy on the left, bare-chested with rudraksha malas and a black-cloth head covering, presses his palms together in prayer with eyes closed. The boy on the right, also bare-chested in orange cloth with rudraksha beads and a black turban, holds a coconut over the table. Behind them a large framed portrait shows a smiling bearded man in a maroon turban, layered gold necklaces and a garland, with a hand raised in blessing; the portrait is printed, not a physical person. An oil lamp and flower garlands sit beside them, and ornate white carved stone arches frame the scene. Both young devotees wear white face masks.2020-12-29KAILASA LOS ANGELES, USA on 1/6/20212021-01-06Two 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.

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.

Both seated men are the only physical people, and the portrait is a depiction.2021-01-03Two 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.
