A crowd of devotees gathers beneath a large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots and dense green foliage. Most people wear white or pale clothing, including white kurtas, salwar-style outfits and a teal kurta, and many wear flower garlands around their necks. A man in a checked short-sleeved shirt stands at the left edge, a woman in a white dress and another in a blue-and-white sari are prominent, and several people press hands together in greeting. The scene appears to be an ashram gathering outdoors, with the group mingling close together under the tree.
