Evening photograph taken through the open doorway of a corrugated-roof hall with an inscription reading SRI ANANDA on the facade above. Several people in orange and saffron robes stand inside and on the concrete steps; one blurred figure in light clothing moves down the steps in the foreground. A woman in orange near the centre and others in white and yellow clothing stand under bright lights, with a plastic chair and potted pink and white flowers at the entrance. The scene suggests a dynamic meditation or devotional session in progress. No figure can be confidently identified as a person from appearance.
