Photograph looking up at a tall, spiralling reddish-brown wooden column topped with an ornate capital, wrapped with marigold garlands and bundled green grass at its base. A small figure in a red garment stands at the foot of the column beside a red and gold umbrella, under a bright sky framed by palm fronds and a metal-roofed open shelter. The column appears to be a ritual pole or dhwajasthambha at an ashram setting.
