A brick fire pit with a bright flame sits at the centre, surrounded by steel bowls, a silver vessel and red flower petals on a pink cloth. A sannyasi in an orange cap and rust-orange robes stands at left with hands folded in prayer. At right, a figure with a red turban, rudraksha mala and white markings on the body pours liquid from a silver vessel into the fire. Seated devotees in white, blue and dark clothing, including a woman with long light hair in a blue skirt, watch with hands joined.
