Outdoor photograph of a fire-walk pit being prepared in a dusty open ground beside a stone wall and green trees. A tall figure with long swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange wrap over bare shoulder and orange cloth draped to the feet, standing barefoot and watching. Four men in white and blue-checked shirts stand around the pit; two lean forward looking down into the excavated sand, and one holds a long metal rod or bar. A faint purple logo appears in the upper left corner.
