Outdoor gathering at an ashram courtyard with a large seated audience of children, young men and women in orange, white and saffron clothing. In the centre a long-haired man in a flowing orange robe stands, with wisps of smoke or incense drifting around him. In the foreground a seated figure in a white kurta and orange shawl sits facing him, and another man in orange draped cloth is partly visible at lower left. Behind them, an orange cushioned seat is set on a low platform, and people sit on a white-walled building with open doors. Several spectators wear orange and white shawls and some have rudraksha or saffron garlands.
