A large outdoor gathering under a striped and patterned canvas tent supported by bamboo poles. Several hundred people in white clothing sit on white plastic chairs in rows, facing away from the camera toward a stage area. Nearby, a woman in a white sari with a gold border sits in the foreground with a long braid, and a metal bucket sits on the grass at left. Grey metal tables with papers stand among the rows. A red metal frame and green plants frame the left edge, and a blue cloth hangs at right. The setting appears to be an ashram ground with a crowd seated for a meeting.
