A night photograph of an open paved courtyard at an ashram-style venue, with rows of empty dark plastic chairs arranged in two blocks facing forward toward a red-carpeted stage area. Strings of small lights decorate low buildings lining both sides, palm-like trees stand along the path, a white car is parked in the background, and street lamps glow in the dark. A figure in white clothing stands near the left chairs and a couple of people in light clothing stand at the right edge, with no clear view of any ceremony in progress.
