A photograph of a person in white clothing with a yellow and gold shawl sitting cross-legged with eyes closed on a dirt path beside a bed of grey ash and charred embers. Smoke rises around them. Behind are palm trees, a white-walled building, and a woven bamboo fence in warm evening light. The scene suggests a sacred fire practice, though no deity or ritual vessel is clearly visible.
