Outdoor scene at a riverside ghat with a white open-pillared pavilion topped by an orange Om emblem on a red and white stepped platform. Many seated women in white and orange-red shawls sit on mats and steps, with some standing nearby. A woman in a sari and a woman in a blue skirt stand at left, and a monk in saffron robes sits near the center of the platform beside a black speaker on a stand. A woman in white with a red shawl stands at right speaking. A portrait-style figure with long hair in saffron is not clearly visible; no person is confidently identifiable as a person from appearance. Trees and bare ground frame the scene.
