Night photograph of a long, low ashram building with a white and orange-banded wall and a sloped roof, lined along its base and across the courtyard with many small clay oil lamps glowing in rows, a festive Karthikai Deepam-style lighting. A few dim figures stand near the lit doorway at the right edge, but they are too small and far away to identify. The surrounding ground is dark.
