Close photograph of a person in a rust-red or maroon garment holding a bundle of dried straw or grass tied with string, lit at one end so that flames and smoke rise. The burning bundle is held over a round silver metal tray with a small amount of ash and glowing embers. A dark background, a dark bracelet on one wrist, and a jewelled pendant at the top edge frame the scene. No faces are visible.

A close photograph of a person in a rust-orange garment holding a bundle of dried straw or grass ablaze over a shallow round metal tray. Flames and sparks leap from the bundle, and burnt red and orange fragments lie in the tray. The person wears a braided rudraksha-style bead bracelet and a layered beaded necklace with a large pendant. The arm shows a small tattoo. The scene appears to be a fire ritual, with the lit bundle and tray. Only the arm, hand, torso and bracelet are visible, with a dark background behind the fire.2018-06-04 +1 copiesJune 04 20182018-06-04A close photograph of a ritual fire: a bundle of dried straw or grass stalks tied with string is held over a round silver metal tray, with bright orange flames and glowing red embers licking up from the bundle's end.
