Nighttime outdoor gathering at a fire-walking event. A woman in a rust-red sari with a gold border and a white tilak on her forehead smiles at the right foreground, wearing beaded necklaces, gold bangles and her hair pulled back. Around her, many women and men in white and cream traditional garments with gold borders stand in a loose crowd; one woman holds a mobile phone and another wears a long braided plait. A cameraman in a light blue shirt films beside a man in a white shirt, and a seated woman in a pale yellow top faces away from the camera at lower left. No identifiable a person figure is visible.
