Night photograph of a temple entrance approached by a flight of steps. At the base of the steps a bright fire flares, with sparks flying upward, and a figure in light, bare-shouldered clothing bends over it, apparently tending the flame. A second person in white, standing at the right on the steps, holds a lit torch that glows red. A small temple gopuram-style structure with a lit doorway stands behind the fire, surrounded by dark trees.
