Subject: [Anaglyphs] Ashram Artifact

 

In the town of Fallsburg, New York is an ashram, an India-inspired temporary retreat for women.

Although this place gets a tax break for being religious in nature, I'm skeptical.  I see it as a resort

for wealthy New York City dwellers. The land and buildings that now make up the ashram were

once the Brickman Hotel, a Catskill resort, long out of business.

 

The ashram has a nice gift shop open to the public where one can find all kinds of texts based

on Indian meditation, pacifist philosophy, and much more.  Take a sharp right turn after entering

the store, and there are expensive items for sale, including this large and heavy bronze

piece depicting, I believe, an Indian princess.
