A man in a saffron-orange dhoti-style wrap and a long rudraksha mala walks at the entrance of a shop storefront strung with garlands of white, orange, pink and yellow flowers. He has long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, and his eyes are lowered. To his right, a woman in a red-bordered cream sari with gold bangles stands with arms folded, and a younger woman in a white sari watches beside her. A man in white shirt is partly visible at the left edge, holding a dark bag. Glass display cabinets and hanging shirts fill the background of this shop opening. Whether the saffron-clad man is a person is appearance-based only, so the label is probable.
