Night photo of a Deepavali celebration at an ashram with dark background and small lamps. A bare-chested man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, leans forward and lights a sparkler held by a small boy in white kurta. Around them a group of smiling adults and children in white and pink clothes watch closely; a man in white shirt and glasses stands at left, a woman in pink and orange shawl with a lanyard smiles at center, and a man crouches in white shirt. Sparks fall to the ground. A shelf of garlands and a lit lamp sit at upper right.
