Photograph of an indoor ashram room with red carpet and gold-trimmed thrones. A woman in a rust-orange sari with a gold border leans forward with her palms outstretched, touching a kneeling woman in a pink top and white skirt who has her head bowed. Behind them a standing bearded man wears an orange robe, rudraksha mala and a red-and-white flower headdress; he appears to be a sannyasi or priest, and his identity is unsure from appearance alone. A seated woman in orange clothing sits on a leopard-print throne to the left. A gold kalasha-style ornamental box and a gold ceremonial object sit on a gold table with a plastic-wrapped offering. A large gold-framed painting hangs on the left wall.
