A group of about a dozen men and women stand in a loose cluster outdoors in front of a white building with a red-framed doorway and a dark metal cabinet wall on the right. Most men wear white shirts with white dhotis, and several wear rudraksha or bead necklaces. A woman in a white sari with a gold border and a dark beaded necklace stands near the center, holding a small pink bag. An older man with a white beard on the far right wears a white shirt and dhoti with arms folded. Some are talking together, others are looking off to the side. Dry earth and a bit of greenery are visible in the background. The setting suggests a break between sessions at an ashram program.
