Night outdoor ritual photo at an ashram. A tall polished copper-gold dhwaja-style lamp pillar with an ornate base carved with figures stands in the foreground. A man in an orange-saffron dhoti with a gold-toned upper cloth, a red-and-white flower garland, gold necklace and gold armlets holds a lit oil lamp flame in one hand and a small bell or cup in the other, facing the pillar. Beside him, a shaved-headed attendant in orange robes holds a metal plate. A camera operator with a video camera films in the lower foreground. Several monks in orange and red robes stand in a row at the left, and palm trees line the background against a dark sky.
