A dark night photograph of a fire ritual at an outdoor site. Bright orange flames burn in a fire pit on the left, with small flickering flames and lamps scattered across the dim ground at the right. In the foreground stands a figure in a dark wrap or shawl, shown in profile and partly lit by the fire glow; the face and head are barely distinguishable. The surroundings are almost entirely black.
