Outdoor photo of a stepped stone tank at an ashram, with red-brick and grey stone steps reflected in still water. A standing man in an orange dhoti and orange wrap holds a small oil lamp with both hands near his chest, his long dreadlocks and white tilak marks visible. Three women in white saris sit on the steps behind him with hands pressed together in prayer, with flower petals, a small brass vessel and offerings scattered on the step. Behind them, many people sit on the tiered steps, some in white. Red flags stand along a railing, a green hose runs down the steps, and a large black Nandi bull statue with a garland sits at right. Multiple people are visible in the background.
