Night photograph at an outdoor ashram ground lit by a few distant lights. In the foreground a young man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead wears a loose orange saffron wrap over his body and walks forward with eyes lowered. Behind him, two men in white dhotis and orange shawls walk on the reddish earth; one carries a small object in his hands.
