Outdoor photo at an ashram entrance on a tiled courtyard beside a brick wall. A smiling young man in an orange turban and orange robe, draped in a red and gold patterned shawl and wearing a dark rudraksha mala, holds a wicker basket of bananas, a pineapple, coconuts, a red kumkum bowl and flowers. Facing him is an older bearded man with long silver-grey hair, bare-chested under an orange cloth, wearing ornate gold-and-red pendant necklaces and a beaded garland, his hand placed on his chest. A man in a white checked shirt stands behind them, and red plastic chairs line the courtyard. This appears to be a welcoming offering of fruit and kumkum.
