A photo on a residential street outside a two-storey cream house with white columns, a red-tiled portico and a black wrought-iron gate. Two saffron-robed figures stand in the foreground on a pale concrete drive: one barefoot woman-like figure with long dark hair faces away toward the house while smoke or incense drifts above; a second saffron-robed man with long hair and a shawl stands to the right beside a silver minivan. Near the gate, people in white dhotis and white shirts, a woman in a yellow sari and a man in a dark shirt stand with hands folded. A white and orange rangoli floral kolam decorates the ground near the gate.
