Outdoor gathering in a mountain valley beneath strings of red, blue, green and yellow prayer flags. A standing figure in an orange-saffron robe, with long dark hair and a rudraksha-style necklace, holds a tall silver trident and addresses a seated crowd on rugs. Beside the figure is a yellow cloth and an ornate golden deity murti or shrine plaque. Around fifteen to twenty devotees sit on the grass in hats, scarves and jackets, many with red headbands or wraps. A seated man in orange robes sits near the front. Stones and a small stream lie behind the group.
