A night photograph of a man standing in profile at the left edge, wearing an orange-red turban and a matching orange-red wrap draped over his shoulders. He holds his hands together in a namaskar gesture of prayer, facing a distant fire glowing in the dark. Several dim figures stand near the fire, and small white stones or markers line the edge of the path in the foreground. The surroundings are almost entirely black, and the orange tones dominate the image. The scene suggests a fire ritual being observed at night.
