Outdoor scene on a dirt ground at a rural ashram: about two dozen people sit cross-legged inside ring-shaped earthen circles, most in white ritual clothes with some wearing saffron/orange shawls. A standing woman in an orange sari holds a microphone and faces the seated group, while another standing figure in white stands nearby. A small red-walled building with a teal metal roof and a saffron flag on a pole stands behind, with coconut palms, a row of stacked white bundles, and a parked silver SUV. A tripod-mounted camera is set up at left.
