A night photograph of a long, low ashram building with a corrugated roof and yellow-orange walls with maroon bands. Rows of small oil lamps line the base of the wall and the ground in front, glowing warmly against the dark sky. Two lit lamp niches are set into the wall, and a few distant figures stand near the far end of the lamp rows. The scene shows lamps arranged for Karthikai Deepam.
