Don't think of it like a bow on a present, think about it as a verb.

When Hindus pray, don't they bow?

Possibly, but it's a hell of a stretch considering the other much more easily connected concepts. It wouldn't be the first thing I'd think of there.

India first? But also see what pops thinks?

India Temple, Hindus are not emphatic on prayer posture afaik?, that's more Muslims and Christians. But they set up places of worship enough of the time.

I'm paranoid that naming any Hindu god would maybe be a better clue for the same two words, though, so maybe it is supposed to be bow

Antarctica, Europe, Hollywood, Himalayas are all top-tier guesses.

Aztec is also a possibility.

I'd go Antarctica -> Europe -> Hollywood -> Pool -> Himalayas

I understand this is probably an unpopular opinion but I think the talking when the other team is up should be against the rules.

Not specifically targeting you two; I've felt this way for a few games but didn't say anything because usually I was the spymaster and the spymaster saying literally anything is even worse for the game.
