Photograph taken at dusk of an open dirt ground at an outdoor ashram venue, with a rocky hill behind and a pale moon in the sky.

Beyond, rows of thin wooden stakes and white plastic chairs surround a raised stage with an orange-and-red canopy and a painted backdrop. Speakers, lamp posts and a yellow vehicle are visible at the edges. Two other people appear partly at the right edge. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible.
