Outdoor gathering on grass in front of a white-fenced boundary and a small white building. Many people sit closely on a yellow mat, most in white kurtas, white dhotis and sarees, with some in blue, red and saffron garments. A woman in a blue saree and beaded necklace looks upward, and a bearded man in a light grey shirt sits with bare feet. A blue and white striped cloth lies across the lower foreground. A bearded man with long hair at the upper left wears an orange shawl, a different appearance from the others. No clearly identifiable a person candidate is distinguishable with confidence. The crowd appears to be a satsang or sitting session.
