A photograph of a Little Anandas youth gathering outdoors under trees at an ashram site. Thirty or more seated children and teens, mostly in white shirts, pink and orange salwar kameez and saris, face a raised red-draped seat. On that seat sits a deity murti in orange cloth with a white flower garland and gold ornaments, flanked by a golden kalasha-style lamp stand. A standing man in an orange robe holds a long pole with an orange cloth at the top, while a seated man in white clothing sits near the front. Brass vessels and offerings lie on a purple mat before the seat. A pictured teacher-student session, not a crowd event.
