Outdoors at an ashram-style grounds, a crowd of devotees in white clothes stands around a shallow pit filled with glowing embers and ash for fire walking. A young man in white kurta and dhoti kneels at the pit's edge with palms pressed together in prayer. Many onlookers wear white with rudraksha malas; one woman in an orange sari with a red bindi stands at left. A red-roofed building and palm trees are in the background, and a saffron flag flies at right. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person in this photo.
