Night photo outdoors on bare earth at a fire-ritual site. A person in an orange-saffron robe with long dark hair sits cross-legged on a white-covered chair set on a red mat, facing left, with a microphone stand in front. A pink patterned cushion rests against the chair back. Behind, two people in white saris with gold borders stand near a stacked pile of firewood, a blue barrel, a black cooking pot and a green car. Strips of text and a logo appear on the image. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair and saffron robes, seated on a white throne-like chair as the speaker at the sacred fire session.
