Close photograph of a ritual flame held on a long metal stick with a small brass cup-shaped holder. The flame burns at the tip and lights a fine white powder on a cylindrical vessel beneath it. Part of a dark red-orange garment and a hand with white powder on the fingers are visible at the right edge. The background is a weathered grey stone wall. No face is visible, so no person can be identified.
