The man in white robes is the chief priest in the famous Mookambika temple in south Karnataka. I was blessed with 2 days of togetherness with him. We travelled 70 kms up the hills beyond Kudajadri to an ashram.  I liked the theatrical lighting bestowed by the evening sun peeking into the ashram hall. 
I said theatrical as you can easily make out the half-hearted conversation they are hardly engaged in. Perhaps boredom was setting in as the entire afternoon was spent waiting for the 'darshan'. Note all the 3 people have no eye contact and all thier hands are folded.
