The pit surface is decorated with coloured rangoli powder in red, white and blue, and a metal bowl sits beside the flames. In the background a shirtless person sits in soft focus, partly obscured by smoke, with a steel plate of offerings and yellow marigold garlands at the right edge. The setting is dim.2017-09-27A brick-lined fire pit with a bright flame rising from dry sticks inside, the homa fire at the centre of the frame. Behind it, a seated officiant in white clothing with a gold-bordered cloth sits cross-legged, hands raised near the flame. Brass vessels, a small bowl and an open book lie on the right, and a metal stand stands beside the pit. The flame suggests an offering ritual, with the officiant's face not visible.2011-11-29
