Outdoor photo of a fire-walking event at an ashram compound. A woman in a white sari with a red-orange border walks barefoot along a shallow pit of glowing dark embers, her hands clasped behind her back. Around the pit, many devotees in white dhotis and white shirts with rudraksha malas stand watching, some with hands folded in prayer and one holding a long wooden staff. A man in the center with folded hands and a white kurta stands at the pit's edge. Behind them is a red-roofed building with a green tin roof, palm trees and an orange flag on a pole. Women in white saris and an older woman in an orange sari also watch.
