An outdoor scene at an ashram courtyard on sandy ground. A person in orange robes and a long orange shawl sits cross-legged on a low mat beside a circular sand-and-stone fire pit, holding a long red-tipped rod over it. Behind them a decorated wooden cart carries orange cloth, a marigold garland arch and a kalasha-like finial. A large black stone Nandi bull sits on a pedestal with a red garland, and a palm-thatched structure and a silver SUV are visible. A green-and-white ashram map board stands at left. The scene appears to be a homa or yagna preparation at a temple grounds.
