A bald man in orange and saffron robes, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a cloth bundle slung over his shoulder, stands bent forward at a whitewashed doorway. He hands a flat blue tray or plate to a smiling woman in an orange-and-yellow sari with a small bindi, who holds the edge of the door frame.
