Outdoor gathering under a tent with colourful bunting; seated white-clad audience behind. A woman in orange robes with long dark hair places her hands on the head of a woman with short natural hair, who wears a white outfit, a rudraksha mala and large gold earrings. Beside them a woman in white with a long red-orange hair and a red bindi stands near a man in a white kurta and orange shawl, and a woman in a white sari with gold border and another in a patterned white shawl look on. The orange-robed woman's gesture suggests a blessing being given, and the setting appears to be a Nithyanandam energy darshan.
