A large outdoor gathering sits on mats under a green shade cloth at an open-air ashram courtyard beside a white-walled building with a terracotta-tiled roof. Many people wear orange and saffron robes or white dhotis with gold borders, and several have long hair. In the centre, a figure in orange stands near a decorated canopy strung with colourful garlands, and brass lamps and vessels sit along the front. Some participants face forward while others sit with their backs to the camera, and a cameraman stands at the right edge filming. The scene appears to be a ritual or satsang gathering.
