A dusty dirt lane lined with tall banana plants and strings of marigold garlands runs through a crowded outdoor gathering. Many people in plain white clothes, including women in white saris with coloured borders and men in white kurtas and dhotis, walk and stand along the path. Some carry bags, and a few men in yellow and green shirts walk nearby. Saffron flags on bamboo poles and a green banner rise above the crowd, with a red-and-white structure and a tiled roof behind. The scene conveys an ashram-style gathering of devotees moving through the grounds.
