Night photograph at an outdoor ashram setting. A large bonfire of logs burns on sandy ground at left, with bright flames. Behind it, a seated figure in orange and white garments sits on a white cushioned seat beneath a colourful striped canopy, appearing small and distant. To the right, several people in white clothing sit on the ground near a blue banner. A red cord runs across the foreground. The sky is dusky blue. The figure on the seat has no clear distinguishing cues, so the identity is uncertain.

Behind it, a seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a matching shawl sits on a white cushioned chair beneath a multicoloured fringed canopy, reading or holding an open book with both hands. A microphone stands beside the chair, a bright light glows in the dark background, and a striped green-and-red mat lies in front of the seat. The person appears to be a priest-like figure conducting a fire ritual, though the scene is dark and the figure's features are not clear enough to confirm identity.2009-09-05February 21 20162016-02-21November 20 20092009-11-20Night-time outdoor fire ritual on bare ground: a large bonfire burns at the centre while a ring of seated participants in white and orange-saffron clothes sit around it.
