An outdoor open-air pavilion at an ashram, with a crowd of devotees seated on the ground facing a central raised platform draped in a striped red, white and multicolored cloth. Many seated attendees wear white dhotis and shirts; one foreground man in orange robes sits with long hair tied back, and a shaved-headed man in white sits near the front. Overhead, the pavilion is hung with saffron pennants, colourful tassels and bunting, and palm trees and a stone deity murti stand in the background, with a red-robed figure seated at a distance on the right. Concrete steps with red and white banding lead up to a building signed as a temple.
