A photograph of an outdoor ashram courtyard on dry, bare ground. In the foreground, a young woman with long dark hair tied back sits cross-legged in the shade of a tall coconut palm, wearing a white blouse and white pants and looking down at her hands. Behind her stands a simple single-storey whitewashed building with a tiled roof, two maroon doors, and scaffolding poles along its front. Small trees and red flowering plants surround the compound, with a low concrete step and a pale pipe along the ground.
