Outdoors on a dusty ground in front of a corrugated metal shed, a young man in an orange saffron robe holds a microphone toward a second young man in an orange robe with long dark hair, who holds a thick rope and smiles. Around them a crowd stands in a loose circle; several people in white and grey ceremonial clothes, some wearing red-beaded malas, stand behind, and at right people in pale blue and lavender clothes hold small pink cups. A man with white hair and glasses looks up at upper left, and a seated man in white with a red mala sits at lower right. A small table with a striped cloth stands at left. The orange-robed men appear to be the focus of an interactive session.
