Photograph of two men in saffron-orange robes standing in a doorway with orange curtains framing it, stepping down onto a concrete step. The man on the left has long, swept-back dark curly hair, wears a white and red flower garland and gold-edged orange cloth, and gold bangles on his wrist. Beside him, a man in an orange turban with a white vibhuti/kumkum forehead mark wears a multi-strand beaded necklace and gestures with one hand over his chest. Behind them, a few other robed figures in orange are partly visible inside a room with a metal ceiling and a fluorescent light. The white walls and bare feet suggest an ashram setting.
