A smaller white statue of a kneeling figure with raised hands sits to its right. At the far right a person in orange robes and a saffron head covering kneels near the statues.

Several men in saffron-orange robes stand close to the fire, with one in a rust-red shawl, while others in white dhotis and yellow shawls and a man in white with a red scarf stand around the edge. A metal bucket and a bag sit at the right foreground, and a shadowy figure with a mala walks in the left foreground. The scene appears to be a homa or fire ritual performed outdoors after dark.2009-11-16December 27 20072007-12-27
