A photograph of a courtyard at an ashram with terracotta-red walls and a tiled overhang. A young man with short light hair in white kurta and white pants sits cross-legged in meditation on a green mat, a bead mala around his neck. Three children sit nearby on the concrete platform: a boy in an orange shirt and cream trousers raising one hand, a younger child in white, and a girl in white top and maroon skirt with hands held up. Coir mats lie on the grass, with palm plants and potted greenery around.
