Night photograph on a dark road at an ashram, with palm trees behind. A white-clad man with a shawl holds a yellow and red ceremonial standard with a tassel-edged umbrella-style top beside him; a second man in white holds a tall red and yellow parasol with fringed edges. Several people in saffron/orange robes stand nearby, including a woman in orange with a shawl and a shaved-headed monk in orange robes by a silver car at left. A white bollard-lined path and a road sign are visible. The scene suggests a procession or welcome at the ashram.
