An outdoor gathering in a palm-lined ashram courtyard under an overcast sky. Many seated devotees, mostly in white shirts and dhotis, face a central area near a tall copper-coloured kalasha-style pole and a dark deity murti on a white pedestal. Seated figures in white and saffron sit on mats and plastic chairs in rows. A figure in orange robes sits near the centre, and a standing figure in white stands near a white plinth on the right. Potted plants and a small thatched structure frame the scene, with a white SUV parked behind the crowd. The image is faintly watermarked in the corner, which is omitted.
