A large decorated kalasha, a striped and colourful ceremonial pot with a painted face motif and garlands of yellow, red and green, stands on a raised platform in the middle of a rectangular reflecting pool. Petals float on the water and reflect the pot. Tiered red stone steps and rows of red seats rise behind it, with a few seated people in white clothes on the far steps and at the right edge. A multi-storey red brick building and trees stand beyond. The scene looks like a ceremonial setting at an ashram.
