Outdoor scene at an ashram-style compound beside an orange-painted wall. In the foreground, a woman in a leopard-print shawl over orange trousers bends to help an older woman seated in a silver wheelchair, wearing a dark cardigan and a red-and-maroon sari with a red handbag. Beside them a woman in a light green kurta and a red lanyard stands watching, and a bald man in a white dhoti with an orange-and-red border stands near a grey SUV. Behind them, a red-carpeted stage has an orange banner and a sign reading Life Bliss Program, with a few people in blue and white saris. Banners on the wall show a monk-like figure in orange, and a notice board reads Special features of this sacred Banyan tree.
