A photograph of a dirt path in an ashram compound with a grey concrete-block building and green-roofed shed behind it. A group of people in orange and saffron robes stand and walk together, with several men in white dhotis and shirts lining the left side. A bald man in orange robes and a wooden bead necklace stands at the left, a woman in orange with a rudraksha mala stands centre, and an older bearded man in orange stands at right beside a man in a green-bordered shawl. Several people wear orange shawls and bead malas, and a figure at the right wears an orange head wrap. No candidate can be confidently identified from appearance, so no a person identification is made.
