A photograph of outdoor construction work at an ashram-style compound. A man in a checked short-sleeved shirt and grey track pants with red side stripes bends forward, using a shovel to spread grey mortar between large pale stone slabs laid on a concrete base. Another man in a white shirt and dark trousers stands beside him, and a few more workers in white and khaki move in the background. A red brick building with an air conditioning unit and green shrubs lines the edge of the courtyard.
