A man seated on an ornate silver-and-cushioned throne performs a fire ritual at night beside a small homa fire burning in a brass pit. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti-style garment, a heavy gold multi-strand necklace with a large gold pendant, a red-and-gold armband and bangles, and a dark headwrap, with long dark hair falling behind. A tilak mark is on his forehead. Beside him are brass and silver ritual vessels, a kalasha-style pot, flower garlands, silver figurines of horses and a deity murti, and a metal microphone stand. A gilded peacock-style carved backdrop stands behind the throne. The man appears to be a person in the performer role, seated for a homa as part of the ritual.
