A photograph of an unpaved dirt lane lined by white perimeter walls, with a long canopy of strung white lights and bamboo poles stretching overhead toward a distant gateway. Potted green plants sit along the right-hand wall, banana leaves and palm trees frame the scene, and a small staircase with a metal railing is visible on the left. A few small figures stand far down the lane near the gateway, too distant to describe in detail. The arrangement suggests festive decoration for an ashram entrance.
