A courtyard session at an ashram with red walls and wooden pillars, hung with brass bells, chains and a trident. A man with short dark hair and a light shawl sits on a raised cushioned seat at the back, holding a microphone. Around him on a blue mat sit about a dozen young people in orange saffron robes with long braided hair and beaded necklaces; some are laughing and some look on. Two women in orange stand near the seat, and a brass trident and lamp stand are in the foreground.
