A photograph of an outdoor ashram gathering on dusty ground in front of a long orange-walled building with a green metal roof and a thatched-roof structure behind. A man in a flowing saffron-orange robe with long, swept-back dark hair holds a handheld microphone in one hand and extends his other arm forward, pointing toward a long white rope held taut by a line of people. Around him, devotees in white kurtas, white dhotis and saffron or orange kurtas and shawls stand or walk, some with rudraksha malas, while a woman in a green patterned salwar kameez claps her hands. A small white van and a bicycle are visible in the background under a cloudy sky. The rope suggests a group procession or demonstration being led on foot.
