A photograph of a courtyard session at an ashram hall with red walls and white carved wooden pillars. A bearded man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-red robe, sits cross-legged on a white carved swing-like seat with a red cushion, hands pressed together and smiling. Around him sit many devotees, mostly women in orange and white clothing, some with rudraksha malas, along with men in white and orange. Behind the seat a brass hanging lamp, bells and a framed deity picture hang on the wall. A small table holds books and a water bottle, and a yellow-red electronic display stands nearby. Some people in the foreground are seen from behind. Visible people number roughly 30 to 40.
