Outdoor photo beneath a large banyan tree with dense green leaves at a temple-building site. A man with a long dreadlocked bun, bare chest and a rust-orange wrap stands barefoot on a paved stone path, centred among a ring of about seven people seated and standing around him. Several listeners wear rust-orange and red wraps, rudraksha malas and dreadlocks; one man in a white dhoti and shawl, and a man in a white shirt holding a small object, are also present. A red-cloth-covered table sits at the left edge and a shrine with red decorations is visible behind the tree.
