Outdoor photo of a fire-walking event at an ashram. A woman in a white sari with a gold border walks barefoot across a long pit of glowing-grey embers and ash lined with bare earth. Around the pit, a crowd of men and women in white clothing, some with identity lanyards, stand with hands folded or palms together watching her. A man in white dhoti and shirt stands at the right edge, and a figure in an orange garment with a red thread on the wrist stands at the left. A tin-roofed red building and palm trees appear in the background. No one is clearly identifiable as a person in this frame.
