Photograph of a courtyard ritual gathering at an ashram temple with red walls and golden pillars. A person in an orange-red robe sits on a raised golden seat in the back, speaking into a microphone beside a small lectern. Around them, many devotees in white clothes sit cross-legged on the floor, several with palms pressed together in anjali. In the foreground, a brass bowl of flowers and fruit offerings sits on a multicolour striped mat, with brass trishul and lamp stands to the right and a golden canopied palanquin-style shrine to the left. Some attendees wear lanyards and a green-badged volunteer is visible. Bronze deity murti stand near the seat.
