Seated devotees in white and yellow saris, some with hands folded, face the mound, and a woman in a white sari with pink border photographs the scene at right. Brass oil lamps sit on the ground at lower left.

Outdoor photo beneath a large banyan tree at an ashram. In the foreground, many devotees sit on the ground and stone steps, mostly dressed in white, with some in orange. A standing figure in a cream-colored robe stands centrally near a draped structure of red and white striped cloth on a raised mound, with a small ceremonial umbrella nearby. Other people in white and orange stand along the right side near the tree trunk. Smoke or incense haze drifts through the leafy canopy overhead.

A woman in a white sari with a gold border and a long rust-red dupatta pours liquid from a vessel over a svayambhu-style lingam set on a dark stone platform, which is ringed by a black-and-white painted border and red-dusted stones.

Around them, devotees in white kurtas and saris stand or sit, with a few in saffron and orange, and a bronze kalasha sits near the altar.
