A barefoot woman in a white sari-style garment with a white shawl walks across a shallow pit of glowing-grey embers during a fire walking ritual. Along both edges of the trench, rows of white dots mark the path. Devotees in white dhotis and shirts stand on the bank, some with bare feet, one man in a light blue shirt holding a wooden pole, and a man at the top right wearing a white shirt and wristwatch. Behind them, a wooden railing and an orange-roofed building are visible. No person in the scene is identifiable as a person from appearance, so no one is labelled as him.
