A photograph of an outdoor ashram courtyard with a paved hexagonal-tiled path and a red-and-white painted step edge at left. At front left, a long-haired person in a saffron-orange robe and rudraksha mala walks barefoot; the appearance cues (long swept hair, saffron robe, rudraksha beads) are distinctive, and the page does not name him here, so the identity is uncertain.

Behind them a line of men in white dhotis and kurtas, many with hands folded in anjali, stand in greeting; an older man in a lavender dhoti and shirt and a younger man in white with a rudraksha mala stand among them.
