A photograph of a garden at an ashram compound. A young man in a white short-sleeved shirt and grey trousers, with a lanyard around his neck, bends over and works with a long-handled tool among flowering shrubs with red and yellow blooms. Behind the garden stands a tall white temple tower with small figures on its tiers and a saffron flag flying from its top, beside a low white wall and a tiled roof. Palm and leafy trees fill the background under a pale sky.

A white stone temple gateway with a tiered gopuram-style tower topped by lion-like finials stands at the end of a paved walkway lined with green lawns, palm trees and shrubs with red flowers. Through the open doorway, red and orange garlands or cloth hang at the entrance. Two figures in white dhoti-style clothing are visible: one walks on the path near the left flowers and another stands at the temple doorway. The sky is pale blue at dusk.

Palm trees, yellow flowering shrubs, pink bougainvillea-like blooms, a spiky variegated agave plant and orange marigolds fill the foreground, and a copper-roofed structure sits beside the tower. Sculpted figures and carvings decorate the white tower walls under a pale blue sky. No people are visible.

One small figure in pale blue clothing walks along the path. Strings of decorative cloth or garland hang from the tower.
