Night outdoor ritual scene: a large open campfire of crossed logs burns brightly in the foreground on a sandy ground. Behind it, a seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a matching shawl sits on a white cushioned chair beneath a multicoloured fringed canopy, reading or holding an open book with both hands. A microphone stands beside the chair, a bright light glows in the dark background, and a striped green-and-red mat lies in front of the seat. The person appears to be a priest-like figure conducting a fire ritual, though the scene is dark and the figure's features are not clear enough to confirm identity.
