A photograph of an outdoor open-air sheltered structure with a corrugated roof and dark red-brown painted wooden frame, set in a dry dusty compound with thatched-roof huts and trees behind. Several men in plain white dhotis and white shirts stand along a concrete wall on the left, one with palms pressed together in namaskar, and others with arms folded watching. Inside the shelter, men in white and a woman in a white sari with a pink border lean on the railing looking out. A black bag rests on a bench and a small metal vessel sits beside it. A saffron-coloured flag on a pole stands at the right edge. The men wear white and the scene appears to be a devotional gathering or ritual observation.

Most wear white or cream clothing; several have lanyards around their necks, and one woman has her hair in a long braid. Some participants gesture while speaking, and a small table with papers sits in the group. Shoes are left at the platform's edge, with bushes and a dirt path behind. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable among the seated people, so no appearance-based identification is made.2006-10-07September 23 20062006-09-23A line of about fifteen people stands on a dirt path in front of thatched-roof buildings with white walls and large windows, with trees behind.

A bearded man in the centre wears a green shawl over white clothes and an orange head wrap, and a woman in orange has a garland of beads around her neck.
