Photograph of a stone pathway under construction at an ashram compound. Rows of cut grey stone paving slabs and cobblestone setts lie in a diagonal pattern across a dirt-edged walkway, with some stones still loose on the ground. A workman in a white shirt stands on the left and another crouches near the centre, both laying stone. Red-walled buildings with green corrugated roofs, a flagpole, and green trees frame the scene, and a row of short concrete posts runs along the left edge.
