Night photograph of an outdoor ashram courtyard lit by a bright floodlight. A tall figure with long dark hair falls down the back, wearing a rust-brown dhoti and a pink-and-white floral garland, walks barefoot away from the camera across a red-and-cream striped mat toward a golden arched gateway. A cameraman in an orange garment stands behind a black tripod-mounted video camera, his hair in a topknot. On the left, several seated devotees in white and orange sit on the mat, and a person in a yellow sari stands near the arch. Colourful painted banners with deity figures hang on the white pillars at right. The image is plausibly from a person event, but the walking figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.

On the left, two young men in orange dhotis and white forehead marks stand with palms pressed together, one holding a brass vessel with flowers.
