A square yellow-painted brick fire pit, decorated with white rangoli-style flower motifs centred with red dots, holds a blazing fire of wood logs and small white offering pieces. Tall orange flames rise above the pit. Behind it, a person in red-orange cloth stands partly visible at the top edge, and metal vessels, a kalasha-like pot and small brass containers sit on a stone ledge at left. This appears to be a homa or yagna fire ritual setting. No clearly identifiable people are fully visible.
