Around the pit, a crowd of devotees in white garments stands watching; many men wear white kurtas and dhotis, and several women wear white saris or orange and yellow saris. A woman at left wears an orange sari and a man at right wears a white shirt and dhoti. Some onlookers have their hands folded, and a tall wooden pole stands at the pit's edge. A red-roofed building and palm trees appear behind the crowd. No one is identified as a person in this image.
