Photograph of a crowded indoor corridor with a white-tiled wall. A large dark signboard reads in English, Kannada and Tamil 'Things Used by Paramahamsa in his young age'. Below it, a glass display case holds objects. Around the case, a group of children and young people stand and move about. Several wear plain white tunics or shirts, and a few young women wear orange shawls and white or green salwar-style outfits. A young woman in the centre wears a white top with a round badge and holds a tote bag. To the left, a white wall panel shows partial lettering 'ISSFUL' and 'Nithya...Dhyan' fragments. A small framed picture hangs at upper right. Dim lighting and the overall scene suggest an ashram-style exhibit visit.
