A single flame burns inside a dark cave-like opening at the centre. In front sits a small dark granite step-stool with yellow turmeric marks and scattered white and yellow flower petals on the ground. Two pale concrete walls frame the entrance. At the right edge, a partially visible person in white dhoti holds a wooden-handled tool with a red metal blade. Two reddish fruits lie at the lower right, and red earth covers the floor.
