A large open fire of burning logs rises tall in the centre of the frame, its orange and yellow flames curling upward from a bed of charred wood. The fire sits on a yellow-tiled platform scattered with red and white flower petals. Blurred in the background are white pillars, a white floral garland hanging on a shrine-like structure and a green-and-white object, with no clearly visible people. The fire is the clear focus of the image.
