Outdoor photograph of a fire-walking event on bare earth. A long rectangular pit of glowing-grey embers and ash runs down the centre, and a woman in a white sari with a dark purple blouse is walking barefoot across it. Around the pit stand many devotees in white kurta-style clothes and white dhotis, some with rudraksha malas, along with women in white saris and orange-and-yellow garments. Several onlookers have hands raised or pressed together in prayer, and a man on the right holds a long staff. A small red-roofed building and palm trees appear in the background.
