Outdoor flag-hoisting scene at an ashram courtyard on a sandy ground. A tall white flagpole stands before a large boulder decorated with multicoloured bunting and a balloon; the boulder bears painted letters reading HAPPY. A woman in a white sari with a red-bordered cream sari stands at the centre, with a row of young boys in white shirts and white dhotis and girls in white dresses lined up beside her. Several women in white saris and a man in white kurta and dhoti stand at left, and a few people in orange robes stand near the back. A small platform with a garland-decorated pole holds a flower arrangement at the base. Other women in pale and coloured saris watch from the left side of a white building, and a person in orange sits in the lower-left foreground.
