Outdoor photo at an ashram entrance with palm trees, a thatched-roof hut and a paved brick walkway. A silver SUV is parked on a dirt road. A person in an orange robe with a shaved head stands beside the vehicle, appearing to step toward the path. In the foreground, an elderly woman with white hair and white clothing stands with palms pressed together in namaste, facing him, with a second person partly visible at the left edge. A large signboard showing a map and green areas stands behind, and a roadside poster on the right shows a smiling woman in an orange head wrap and a portrait of a saffron-clad figure. The orange-robed figure shows no distinctive a person cues such as long hair, crown or malas, so the identity is uncertain.
