Outdoor scene on dry, ash-scattered ground with smoke rising from several small fire pits. Many people in plain white clothes sit cross-legged on low brick seats, most with black or dark cloth blindfolds or headbands. The foreground figure in the centre wears a white kurta and white dhoti, with a black cloth over his eyes and a reddish band on his head, hands resting near a small mound of earth and a burning fire. Other seated figures in white stand farther back among bare trees and a low white boundary wall. Scattered bricks, sticks and a green bucket lie on the ground. The scene suggests a fire-based ritual practice, with the participants seated in a rows.
