A photograph of an outdoor ashram scene in a palm-lined compound. A black-and-white spotted cow stands on dirt ground, its horns and hooves marked with red and orange kumkum, while a man in a white shirt and dark trousers holds its rope and a pink cloth over his shoulder. Beside it, a woman in an orange-bordered white sari and green-trimmed cloth holds a brass pot decorated with flowers, and others in white and patterned clothing stand behind carrying a tray of offerings. Thatched huts, a hay stack and a fenced yard with a tall white board sit in the background. No a person candidate is visible.
