Outdoors on a dirt ground at an ashram site, a man with long dark hair sits cross-legged on an orange cushion and a woven mat inside a circular raised earthen platform with rangoli-style white and red dotsaround its rim and a bed of grey stones. He wears a saffron-orange cloth draped over his body and a multi-strand orange and beige bead mala around his neck; a brass kalasha-style vessel sits to his left. Behind him stand several large dark stone statues of deities and figures on pedestals with red plaques, a red stone pedestal and garlands at the right edge, and a large map board on the left beside a thatched structure. A white bird stands on the ground and a standing man in white is visible near the map, with palm trees in the background.
