A courtyard session in a temple-style ashram courtyard with red walls, wooden pillars and hanging brass bells. Many devotees in orange robes sit on a blue mat in the foreground, several with long braided hair and beaded necklaces, some clasping hands or holding small items. Behind them a bare-chested man in a dark wrap stands before a shrine area, and a woman in orange and a woman in red stand nearby. A brass kalasha and a trident sit at the right edge, with a grey silk-draped object and carved stone seating beyond.
