Outdoor photo at an ashram courtyard of a seated figure on an orange cushion inside a circular floor decorated with white floral kolam patterns and pebble borders. The seated person has long dark hair in a bun, wears an orange robe and a leopard-print shawl, and gazes upward in meditation. A brass vessel sits on the mat beside them. Facing them along a path of woven mats, about a dozen people in white clothing sit in rows on a raised platform, some with folded hands. Red-and-white painted walls, orange buildings and a small shrine structure form the background. The seated figure with a leopard-print shawl and orange robe fits the appearance cues, though the identification is uncertain.
