Dusk outdoor ritual with a large fire blazing above a long wooden log draped in red and orange flower garlands, set on a blue cloth-covered table. Flower petals are scattered on a stone platform and a small lamp burns in the foreground. A figure in the right foreground wears a red and gold headcloth, cream-coloured patterned top and a beaded necklace. Behind the fire, a man in a cream kurta and dark vest raises a camera toward the flames, and a crowd of devotees in white and saffron clothing watches from the palms. A small screen displays images on a red-draped table.
