Interior of a library hall with cream walls, maroon curtains and a ceiling fan. Glass-fronted orange wooden bookcases line the left wall, filled with books. A man in a rust-red dhoti and bare chest, with a rudraksha mala, walks across the pale tiled floor toward a blue-topped reception desk with a computer and monitor. Behind him another figure in an orange robe walks, and on the right a person in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and tilak stands near the desk, with a shaved-headed monk in orange further right. The scene is ordinary ashram life. No a person candidate can be confidently identified by appearance, so the central walking man is described only by role.
