Wide view inside a decorated tent hall at an ashram gathering. Rows of seated devotees fill the floor: women in white with orange and yellow shawls on the right, and a mixed group of men and women in white and orange on mats in the foreground. A woman in white with a camera on a tripod stands at left, and a man in orange sits on a patterned mat near the front. A large white throne with a red cushion stands at the far end, with no one seated on it. Red rose petals are scattered across the floor and in a heap, and colourful cloth hangings with striped tassels hang from the ceiling. Several people are in the frame, so the people count is an estimate.2008-02-14February 14 20082008-02-14Wide view inside a large tented hall with white canvas roof and hanging decorative panels in red, yellow and blue.
