Outdoor photo at an ashram courtyard with palm trees behind. In the foreground, two figures walk away from the camera up a stepped platform: one wears saffron-orange robes with a red border and a garland around the neck, the other wears white and orange-red dhoti-style cloth. Ahead, about a dozen people stand in a row with palms pressed together in greeting, most in white shirts and dark trousers, one in white kurta. A lamp hangs on a metal stand at left, and a garlanded doorway and a flower stall appear in the background.
