A courtyard at an ashram-style compound on a cloudy day, with a paved walkway of hexagonal tiles marked by pink floral motifs running down a green lawn. White-walled buildings flank the path, one with a green corrugated roof and another with an orange tiled roof supported by red pillars. Rows of cream plastic chairs line the path, where many people sit in white clothing, some in white and others in green or red tops. Along the right, people in white stand and sit at long tables with steel containers and drinks. In the centre background, a figure in an orange robe with a white garment stands among others in white, appearing to be a sannyasi in saffron, and an ascetic-looking figure in orange is visible but not clearly identifiable. Several people in white walk and mingle, and a tree and potted plants frame the scene.2009-06-18Outdoor ashram courtyard under a red-pillared canopy beside a grassy path and paved stone walkway.
