A large fire pit of stacked split logs burning intensely, with bright orange flames leaping upward and glowing embers and sparks rising through the smoke. Charred wood pieces are piled in a conical heap, with pale grey ash on the lower logs. No people are visible in the frame, and no figure or deity is depicted. The fire suggests a homa or yagna fire pit, though only the burning wood itself is visible.
