Night-time outdoor fire ritual on sandy ground. Several small fires burn in front of a dark background with a tall flagpole bearing a small flag. In the foreground a young man in white sits cross-legged, looking down. Behind him a figure in a red-pink cloth stands near the flames, and to the right a robed figure in cream or white clothes stands beside a large blazing fire. Another seated person in white sits near the left fires. Fire pits with offerings suggest a homa or yagna.
