Outdoor ashram scene under trees on bare red earth. Several women and a few men in orange-saffron wraps are gathered, with two women in front hauling and holding a long teal-green tarp stretched between poles. Behind them, a small open-sided structure with a tent-like canopy shows people seated and standing in white and orange clothing near offering setups. A grey block wall and palm trees frame the background. Mats and a black mat lie on the ground at left, and a plastic chair sits near a tree. The activity suggests setting up a sheltered space for a ritual or gathering.
