Outdoor photo on a dirt path at an ashram compound. A large crowd of devotees in white clothes, many barefoot, walks in a long line past a red-walled building with a green tin roof and a flagpole with a saffron flag. A man in front with white dhoti and shirt holds his hands in anjali mula at chest level, with a rudraksha-style mala around his neck, walking along a dark strip of ground that looks like a fire-walking path. Other men and women in white and pink saris stand or walk nearby, with stacked white crates at the right and palm trees behind. The scene matches a fire-walking event at the ashram.
