Evening outdoor gathering on a lawn in front of a multi-storey resort with balconies and a lit path. In the foreground, a man in a rust-red robe with a matching red and gold turban sits on a leopard-print cushioned seat with a gold-edged rug, holding a wooden staff, facing the scene. Behind him, rows of seated devotees in white clothes, some in green and pink, sit on white mats. At the centre, a fire pit burns on a low platform beside a blue-draped table holding potted plants and small offerings. Two men in saffron-orange robes stand at the fire, one wearing a saffron turban and a beaded necklace. Lamps and a bright floodlight light the scene.
