A dusty unpaved lane runs past a long single-storey cream building with a terracotta tiled roof and open veranda at a rural ashram compound. Many people mill about: women in white and orange saris, and men in white dhotis and pale shirts. A young man in a checked shirt and jeans walks in the foreground touching his forehead. A silver car is parked on the right beside a small white table on the veranda. A grey unfinished concrete block and a white building appear in the distance under an overcast sky.
