A woman in an orange and maroon sari stands at the center, raising a lit oil lamp in her right hand and holding a brass bell in her left, smiling. Two or three seated young people in white and light clothing watch from the left. A poster-covered wall behind shows a banner titled "Growing Consciousness" with photographs of meditating sadhus in orange and red robes and mountain landscapes, plus a framed portrait of a seated figure at upper right. A patterned textile hangs at the right edge, and a metal table with an orange plate is in the foreground. The scene appears to be an aarti in a community room.
