A photograph outdoors at an ashram grounds with coconut palms and a blue sky. A young man with short dark hair stands barefoot in the centre of a circular stone-lined ritual enclosure, wearing a flowing orange-red robe and a long necklace of golden beads, hands on his hips and head bowed. Before him sits an orange cushion on a low wooden seat with a green mat. Behind him stand dark stone sculptures of seated figures and cobra-hooded forms, each with a small red placard. A large wall map and a banner with Kannada script are visible, and a white-clad woman walks in the background with a few other onlookers. A tall decorative banner hangs at the right.
