Outdoors beneath a large spreading banyan tree with aerial roots, a group stands on a paved stone courtyard. A central man wears a rust-red wrap over his shoulder and bare upper body, with long dreadlocks piled on his head, and gestures as he speaks. Around him, several people face inward: a bare-shouldered figure with a rudraksha mala and long braids, a person in orange and rust-red robes with long hair, an older woman in a white and gold-bordered sari, a man in a white shirt on the right, and a man in a pink shirt on the left. Sacred-looking red and saffron fabrics appear in the background near shrine structures.
