A night photograph of a tall open fire burning on a sandy ground, with dry straw and sticks heaped at its base and flames rising high. Behind the fire, several people in white and cream dhotis and shawls stand in the dim background. On the left, figures in pale garments stand near the dark edge of the frame. A man in white clothing with a red shawl draped over his shoulders stands to the right of the flames, and a blurred figure in a white dhoti occupies the right edge. The scene suggests a homa or yagna fire ritual at night.
