Outdoor photo of a crowd gathered around a long pit of glowing embers and ash, the fire-walking trench. In the centre foreground a man in plain white kurta and dhoti with rimless glasses stands at the edge, hands clasped, head bowed. Many devotees in white kurtas and dhotis surround the trench, some with rudraksha malas and name badges; a woman in an orange-red sari stands at left. Others hold long bamboo poles. Behind them is a red-roofed building with a green tin roof, palm trees and a red flag on a pole.
