Night-time photograph of an outdoor ashram gathering under bright floodlights strung along poles. Rows of colourful plastic chairs, mostly blue, green, red and white, face a raised stage area with two large black speaker cabinets on a stand in the centre. Many people in white dhotis and white shirts stand and sit in the crowd; some men wear pink or white shirts and women wear saffron-red and dark saris. A fairy-light line runs along a wall behind. A few men in white stand near a table at right. The scene suggests a devotional event with public address, though no specific ritual is clearly visible.
