A long line of people stands in a dusty open field on a sunny day with cumulus clouds, a low orange brick wall and tall eucalyptus trees behind them. Many participants wear white shirts and white dhoti-style or loose white trousers, while others wear grey, green, black or orange clothing. They stand shoulder to shoulder with both arms raised overhead, hands joined or cupped in a synchronised group practice. A lone figure in white stands at the far left with a camera. The scene suggests a collective outdoor exercise or ritual gesture at an ashram ground.
