Night photograph of a large bonfire blazing on bare ground, with sparks rising. Several people in saffron-orange robes stand and move around the fire, some with hands raised, others in white dhotis and a cream sari. At left, an ornate illuminated shrine with a deity murti sits under floodlights. A dark-clothed figure with raised arm appears at the right edge, and a building with lit windows is behind. No clear a person cues are visible among the people; the scene suggests a homa or fire ritual.
