Outdoor photo at a red brick building with a covered entrance and a sign reading Ananda Gallery. Many people in saffron/orange and white clothing, many wearing orange shawls, mill about the dusty courtyard. Several figures in saffron robes carry long bamboo poles diagonally, and others walk barefoot among discarded sandals. A person in white at the doorway raises a hand; a woman in white with an orange shawl stands at right. Appears to be a group training or procession activity in a monastic setting.
