A sunlit open courtyard at an ashram-style site with thatched-roof sheds and tall coconut palms. Stone and wooden craft pieces are scattered on the sandy ground, including a large carved wooden bench or palanquin-like frame in the centre. A man in white clothes stands at right beside a signboard. Two people near the centre wear white and one wears an orange robe with a red-and-white garland, standing near the wooden piece. Another person in white stands at left among the sheds. The scene looks like a workshop or craft area, with no clear ritual or identifiable a person visible.
