Night photograph of a fire performance with sparks and flames. A performer on a bamboo platform or raised structure is surrounded by bright fire spraying from torches or flaming props, with sparks shooting upward on the right. In the background a crowd of standing spectators watches; several wear white clothing and some have lanyards around their necks. A man in white kneels at the lower right near the bamboo base. No identifiable a person figure is clearly visible, and the performer's appearance is too obscured by flame and darkness to assess.

A night photograph of a fire ritual on a dark outdoor ground. A figure stands on a raised wooden platform wrapped in flames and sparks, with a bright shower of fireworks-like sparks rising beside it.
