Outdoor photo at an ashram courtyard with a tall ornate copper-and-stone pillar topped by a copper finial, its octagonal shrine niche holding a golden seated figure. A standing man in rust-orange robes with yellow borders and a rudraksha mala on his chest pulls an orange rope or cord wound around the pillar's top. Another orange-robed figure stands behind him, and a shaved-headed devotee in orange sits at lower left, looking up. Yellow flower petals lie at the pillar base, with palm trees and green foliage behind, and a dark deity murti on a low orange platform at right.
