An open, dry field at an ashram site under an overcast grey sky. A large circular bed of reddish-brown earth is edged with a low ring of stones, with concentric rings of terracotta-coloured tiles or bricks laid in curved lines. Several young saplings and small trees are planted around the bed, and a thin bamboo-like pole with a small flag stands near the trees at the back, with a few power lines overhead. No people are visible in the scene.
