A photograph of an ashram sitting room with terracotta floor tiles and whitewashed walls. Two seated people face each other on a sofa: a woman in a bright orange sari with a red-and-white beaded necklace gestures while speaking, and a man in a white shirt and white trousers listens. An older woman in a brown sari sits in an armchair at left. A standing figure at right wears an orange robe and has long grey-streaked hair and a beard, with an orange shawl and a rudraksha-style mala; the figure is standing beside a large flower arrangement of pink, yellow and white blooms on a wooden table. Framed pictures and a wall hanging with red and yellow tassels decorate the walls.
