Outdoor ashram courtyard with a seated figure in orange robes facing away from the camera, sitting on a mat and cushion inside a circular raised platform edged with white flowers, green leaves and a ring of white stones. A brass kalasha-style pot sits beside them. A line of devotees in white clothes sits along a raised platform at the right, with a man in a white dhoti walking across the sandy yard and a man in a white shirt and dark trousers in the middle distance. Orange-painted buildings, a marigold-garlanded pillar, a rangoli-style floral design on the ground and a red-and-white painted wall frame the scene. The orange-robed figure has long dark hair and appears to be meditating or in satsang, the seated figure is consistent with the 'a person' cue of long hair and saffron clothing, but the face is not visible so identity is uncertain.
