A photograph of a dusty outdoor ashram compound after a storm, with corrugated metal sheets blown across the ground and a striped cloth tarp draped over them. Clothes hang on a line in the centre, and a blue hose and wooden poles lie in the dirt. Several white plastic chairs sit in a row beside orange-brown shipping-container style units, with a water tank at the top right and a green-and-grey tarpaulin shelter behind. Red and orange flags fly on poles at the left. A golden temple-like structure rises in the background. On the right, a person in a white top and white trousers with an orange-red sash works on the ground with a broom or tool. The scene is bright and hazy.
