Outdoor photo of a small group of devotees in a dry courtyard beside a tree and a red boundary wall, with palms and a green gate behind. A long-haired man in a rust-orange robe with a long dark braid stands front centre, hands at his sides, facing the group. Behind him a row of men in orange and saffron dhotis and shawls, some bare-chested with rudraksha malas, hold brass plates and vessels, while a man in white garments stands at the right. Two women stand at left, one in orange and one in a purple sari with gold border. Marigold and pink petals lie on the ground beside brass plates. The scene suggests a puja or ritual offering in an ashram garden.
