Outdoor photo of a dirt courtyard at an ashram compound with white walls and corrugated sheds behind. Two people in saffron/orange robes stand in the centre of the path; the left one holds a hand near his chest, while the taller man on the right stands with hands folded. Around them, people in white traditional clothes stand in lines, some holding ornate ceremonial umbrellas with red, orange and blue canopies and tassels. A line of children in white on the right holds staffs and a red-and-gold circular ceremonial fan. Palm trees, a parked silver car, and a pale evening sky complete the scene.
