Photograph of an indoor ashram room with white walls, large windows and a plain steel counter with a sink and taps. Several women in white salwar-style clothes with orange shawls or sashes are gathered around. In the centre, a woman in white with a long orange wrap holds a tall bamboo staff topped with an orange cloth, while another woman in white stands nearby. A seated woman in orange and white and a few others in white with orange sashes are visible, along with a blue plastic chair. The scene suggests a sadhana or ashram routine rather than a clearly identifiable ritual.
