A night-time outdoor gathering at an ashram entrance, with a crowd of devotees in white shirts and dhotis, saris and salwar in bright colours pressing toward a lit doorway. Banana and palm fronds, leafy green branches and strings of marigold-style decorations frame the scene, and string lights hang across the orange-washed wall. Two ornate decorated panels hang beside the entrance, and a banner reading partially 'U...' is visible at right. Some people in the crowd appear to be receiving darshan near the door. The area is dense with people, mostly seen from behind or in profile.
