Outdoor photo of a flower-decorated samadhi or memorial platform at an ashram-style site. Orange, yellow, red and pink marigold and gerbera garlands and loose petals trace the edges of a pale concrete platform. A man in a checked shirt crouches at the left edge arranging petals, and another man in a grey shirt stands behind holding a pink plastic-wrapped bundle. A blue tarpaulin covers an object near the back, and scattered plastic bags, wrappers and stems lie on the ground at right. Red and white bunting and a red canopy frame the scene, with palm-trunk poles at the right edge.
