Outdoor scene at a temple grounds under a cloudy sky, with tall coconut palms around. A tall copper-coloured pillar topped with a figure rises at the centre, standing on a white stepped plinth with a seated deity murti at its base. Around it, many people sit cross-legged on circular stone-ringed mats on bare ground, with smoke rising from the right. In the foreground, a seated figure wears orange robes and a white-and-yellow-trimmed sannyasi-style garb, while others wear white clothes with yellow shawls. Dark stone sculptures stand to the left, and a low white wall lines the edge of the grounds. The scene appears to be a group meditation or ritual session. The orange-robed figure in front is not identifiable from appearance alone.
