A photograph of a smiling man in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban, hands pressed together in namaste, walking through a doorway of an ashram-style building. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders and a vertical mark is on his forehead. Behind him, two women follow: one in a grey-blue sari with a dark border, hands folded, and one in a pink sari, hands joined at her chest.
