Outdoor photo at an ashram courtyard with sandy ground decorated with white kolam designs. In the foreground a man with long hair tied back sits cross-legged in meditation on a low wooden seat, wearing an orange sleeveless robe and a long dark rudraksha mala, with a brass kalasha-style vessel with a handle placed before him. Behind him to the left, another man in orange robes sits with hands folded, and further back a bald man in white sits in meditation. Orange-painted buildings with tiled roofs, green shrubs and trees form the background, and a wooden cart-like table with cloth-covered items stands on the right. This appears to be a meditation or puja setting.
