A photograph of an outdoor arrival at a pink ashram building decorated with banana leaves and a white kolam floor pattern. A figure in a maroon-and-gold cloth with bare upper torso and layered gold armlets and necklaces stands with palms pressed together in greeting, facing a silver Ford SUV with its doors open. Several saffron-robed monastics stand nearby, one in an orange robe with a white cloth over his eyes reading from a yellow sheet. A black dog stands on the kolam, and a row of women in saris and a man in white clothes watch from behind. Hills and palm trees fill the background.
