Outdoor ashram scene under palm trees: about a dozen people in white and yellow sit cross-legged on mats around small circular fire pits, with smoke rising. In the foreground a larger group of roughly twenty-five people in white sit on mats and chairs facing the fire area, some wearing orange shawls, with a young child seated among them. Simple whitewashed buildings with tin roofs and a row of small figures stand at the right, a red-and-white platform at the left edge.

A small child in red sits among them. A white-and-red striped platform lies at left, and a line of small stone figures stands near a white building at the back.
