Photograph taken under a tent-like canopy of a group of devotees in white ritual clothes with orange shawls gathered before a person on the right wearing an orange garment with long dark hair, hands folded in front of the chest. Several white-clad men and women stand in a semicircle, many with hands folded or holding objects, and a woman in a white sari with an orange border stands near centre with palms joined. A steel bowl sits on a table at right. The setting suggests an ashram ceremony or seva gathering. The figure on the right has long swept-back hair and orange-saffron clothing, a distinctive cue, but the identity is uncertain from appearance.
