Outdoor street gathering under a striped blue, pink and orange canopy with red patterned fabric, beneath a large tree. Many people walk and mill about in a dusty courtyard. Foreground figures include a woman in a yellow and orange sari holding a small child in pink, a woman in a pink sari and women in blue and red saris. A large printed portrait of a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes with a beaded mala hangs on a white board under the canopy; it is a depiction, not a physical person.
