Indoor ashram hall with a white-walled room and a corrugated roof. A figure with long dark hair in an orange robe sits on a white chair on a red mat with orange marigold petals on the floor, while a man in white kneels and bows before them. Seated beside them is a young man in an orange shawl over white, and another orange-clad attendant stands at a white-draped table holding a plate with rudraksha malas, an apple and a small brass bell. Around the room about twenty men in white shirts with blue lanyards and a few in casual shirts stand watching, and a cameraman with a video camera stands at right. Framed photographs and an exhibition panel on the wall show a Ramana Maharshi image and a 'Brush with Existence' text, with a photo of Yogi Ram Suratkumar.
