A large outdoor bonfire of burning logs and dry branches blazes in the foreground on a bare ground, with ash and embers spreading out. Behind it stands an ornate golden temple gopuram with white and red striped steps leading up to it. Strings of lights hang along the gopuram. A decorated throne-like seat with a carved golden frame sits beside the fire under a small blue and gold umbrella, with a garland draped on it. A colourful rangoli design lies on the ground in front of the fire. Trees and an overcast dusk sky surround the scene. No people are visible.
