A long-exposure light-trail photograph of an empty auditorium with tiered rows of seats descending toward a stage in the dim distance. Bright curved streaks of light sweep in concentric arcs across the frame. No people are visible in the scene; the room is dark with warm brown tones and a glowing ceiling light at the top.

A long-exposure night photograph of a fire ritual, with bright orange-yellow flame streaks rising in vertical trails against a black background. Several blurred figures in dark and reddish robes stand in the dim backdrop, too motion-smeared to make out faces or clothing details clearly. The motion blur suggests a moving or dancing fire and people moving around it, possibly a homa or yagna area.

Night photograph of fireworks: streaks of golden sparks and bright white points radiate outward across a dark sky, with a bright burst of light at the lower left. No people, figures or ritual objects are visible; the scene is an abstract spray of pyrotechnic sparks.

Close-up photograph of a tall, flickering flame against a black background, its bright yellow-orange tongues curling and branching upward with a smoky wisp at the top. No people, figures or ritual objects are visible; the flame is the sole subject.

A blurred nighttime photograph in a dark setting, lit by a single overhead fluorescent-style light at upper left. Two figures in motion are visible: a person in orange-red saffron robes at right, one arm extended, and a lighter-clothed figure in pale garments at centre-left, partly blurred. A dark shape in the lower foreground may be a seated or bent figure or an object. Warm orange light falls on the saffron cloth and the ground. The image is heavily motion-blurred, so exact activity and identities are unclear.

Close photograph of tall orange flames rising against a dark background, with smoke drifting through the frame. The fire appears to be a ritual flame, possibly from a homa or fire offering, but no people, vessels or altar are clearly visible. Warm light glows across the blurred edges of the flames.
