Outdoor photo on a dirt road at an ashram-style campus. Several children and young adults stand in a crowd, many holding and waving bright orange-red flags with a dark emblem. A boy in a light blue t-shirt raises a flag on the left, and a girl in a blue top holds a flag on the right. A woman in an orange sari holds a brass tray with offerings, facing a bald man in white dhoti with red-bordered cloth who stands barefoot, appearing to receive the tray in a puja-style gesture. A policeman in white uniform and cap stands behind the group beside a green metal structure and a brick wall. Flat hazy sky in the background.
