A photograph of a fire-walking event outdoors beside a red-roofed building and palm trees. In the centre, a man in a white collared shirt, light blue jeans and a long beaded necklace walks barefoot across a shallow pit of glowing-grey embers and ash. Around the pit, a crowd of devotees in white dhotis, white shirts and saris watches; a woman in an orange sari stands at left and several men with folded or raised hands stand at right. The man's clothing and necklace are not distinctive enough to establish any identity, so he is described only by role as the person walking the embers, with a person unsure.
