Brass oil lamps and silver containers sit on a colourful striped rug.2017-03-16A fire ritual inside a large hall with a red-carpeted floor and marigold garlands strung along the pillars. In the centre, a rectangular fire pit with a burning log and a flame sits on a tiered platform of golden-coloured blocks decorated with flowers. A man in a maroon turban and white dhoti with a gold border stands at the fire holding a ritual vessel; a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a gold border stands beside him with hands joined. Other priests in white dhotis bend over offering trays and brass vessels. To the left, a purple-and-gold umbrella stands above a seated figure in a saffron garment with rudraksha beads and gold necklaces, surrounded by brass pots and flower offerings. A large heart-shaped floral arrangement and a leafy banana plant decorate the background. The scene reads as a homa or yagna.2018-04-14January 02 20162016-01-02April 14 20182018-04-14 +1 copiesMarch 16 20172017-03-16April 14 20182018-04-14March 27 20162016-03-27April 06 20172017-04-06
