Outdoor ashram work site on a dirt path beside a grassy area with a bamboo scaffold frame and a half-built wooden platform. Several people in white clothing are working or walking: a bending man in a white shirt and dark trousers with a red stick in the foreground, a woman in white kurta near the centre, a man in white at the scaffold, and others in white and grey clothes walking along the path. A red-and-white building and a white-roofed shed stand behind, with trees and blue tarpaulin visible. Pipes and a red earth trench sit in the lower left. No clearly identifiable figure is present; the scene shows ashram volunteers at a construction or preparation task.

A group of people dressed in white clothing assemble a temporary structure of bare wooden poles and crossbeams on a dusty open ground in front of a red multi-storey building. Several figures stand around the frame: a woman in a red sash and white dress at left, a boy in white kurta and white dhoti in the centre-left, a person crouching and tying the pole joints in the middle, and an older woman with short light hair in white clothing directing the work at right. A tall bamboo pole rests diagonally on the ground in the foreground, with a green tree and open sky behind. Scattered stones and a few other poles lie around the site.

A photograph of an outdoor ashram scene on dry, dug-up earth in the foreground. Several people in white dhotis and shirts, some with orange shawls or wraps, walk in a loose line along a path past a red-painted building with a terracotta tiled roof and a large green tree. On the right, a row of people in white stands near a white table, and a white SUV is parked at the edge. A few women in saffron and pale saris are also visible. The sky is overcast. The scene appears to be part of an ashram gathering.

A man in the foreground wears a white shirt and dark curly hair, seen from behind. Next, a man in white with short dark hair and a lanyard-style cord walks while holding a small object. Several other people in white follow along the path. Beyond the greenery, an open dirt yard leads to two long thatched-roof structures with white walls and clothes hung out to dry. A lone figure in white stands in the yard near the buildings. Palm trees and trees form the background under an overcast sky.
