A photograph of an open thatched pavilion under construction at an ashram site under a clear blue sky. Bamboo poles and a lattice of wooden beams support a steep palm-thatched roof. A large circular portrait of a saffron-robed figure with a red head wrap is mounted on the thatch above the entrance. Inside, a worker in a checked shirt stands among the poles, and a person in white with an orange shawl stands at the right edge. Palm trees, green shrubs and a white building with a red roof appear in the background, with construction materials stacked on the ground at left.

Palm trees and a leafy branch frame the scene, and a small blue structure appears in the background. No people are visible.2007-06-05A photograph of an ashram construction site on dusty ground lined with palm trees.
