Thee 5-storey ashram was a luxurious property spread over 12 acres with well-stocked kitchen that could cater to one lakh people for a month and the other facilities at the ashram are as good as those available at any top hotel or a high-end farm house

Cleaning up: Aides wash the giant utensils used to cook at Satlok Ashram. The ashram ran a well-stocked kitchen that could cater to one lakh people for a month
Food for devotion: Devotees pray to an image of Rampal. At any time, the ashram’s store room is stocked with raw food material enough to feed one lakh for a month
