Outdoor courtyard scene at an ashram-style compound. A man in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair sits on a white-covered seat with a leopard-print cushion and holds a tall golden trident, marked as a person by the flowing dark hair and orange robes. A barefoot man in a white shirt and grey trousers bends low before him, while an older woman in a maroon sari sits nearby on a white plastic chair. Behind them stand devotees in white and orange-bordered clothing, a man in a white shirt, a boy in a grey top, and a woman in a green sari. A large white painted bull with red and gold trappings stands behind, with a brass kalasha-style vessel and a small plate of offerings on the floor.
