A smiling person with long swept-back dark hair and a dot on the forehead walks through an ornate wooden door studded with brass knobs. They wear a saffron-and-gold wrap over the shoulder, a golden waist sash and a long rudraksha mala with gold earrings. Beside them a shaven-headed attendant in a matching saffron-gold wrap, with vibhuti on the forehead and rudraksha malas, looks down. Bokeh lights glow in the background, and white-clad attendants stand at right.
