Dozens of people in saffron-orange cloth sit on the ground in rows facing a raised seated figure at left wearing a rust-orange garment, with a sheet of marigold garlands hanging near a decorated cloth canopy with colourful tassels. A cameraman in orange cloth films from a tripod at right, a pedestal fan and speaker stand nearby, and a white building and brick wall form the backdrop. Many attendees have long matted hair and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. The seated figure's face is too small to judge and no visible cues confirm identity, so this is a group ashram session with an unidentified teacher.2018-05-24May 24 20182018-05-24A large outdoor gathering under a green tarpaulin canopy in a courtyard beside a whitewashed building.
