Wide view of a large rectangular stone-lined tank of still green water at an outdoor ashram venue. In the centre sits a raised platform holding a tall ornate kalasha-like structure wrapped in striped yellow, red and black cloth and crowned with a dark emblem. Tiered brick seating with rows of small potted plants fills the right bank, and a crowd in white clothes sits on tiered steps on the upper left and back. In the foreground, a row of seated devotees in white garments faces the water, with potted green plants beside them. Several black Shivalinga stones stand along the lower left edge, and a multi-storey red brick building rises behind the tank.
