Evening outdoor scene at an ashram with motion blur. Several women in red and orange saris sit cross-legged on woven mats in a row, with microphones on stands in front of them, some seemingly chanting. Behind them, seated white-clad devotees and a figure in white with an orange shawl sit on chairs near an orange pedestal topped with a decorated deity murti garlanded with flowers. Further back, more people in white sit under trees, and a mat bears woven letters. A slightly blurred figure in white stands near the chairs.
