A fire ritual in progress: a fire burns in a brick hearth whose yellow-painted bricks are dotted with red kumkum and scattered rice grains. A hand holding a silver ladle with a long handle pours liquid into the flames, and a copper-and-silver bowl sits on the left edge. Darbha grass lies on the bricks. The scene suggests a homa or yagna. No people beyond the hand are visible, and the background shows a colourful striped cloth.2018-03-12May 29 20182018-05-29 +1 copiesA fire pit homa in progress: a yellow-painted brick fire pit with bright flames rising from it. A hand wearing a red thread bracelet and a ring pours liquid from a long metal ladle into the fire. Beside the pit sits a large engraved silver bowl of liquid, a small steel cup, pink flower petals scattered on the bricks, and a bundle of green leaves tied with a strand. Striped woven mats in red, purple and blue lie underneath. Only the hand is visible, no full figures appear.2018-05-29May 28 20132013-05-28March 12 20182018-03-12A fire pit built from yellow-painted bricks with white decorative lines and scattered white grains on its edges holds a bright flame. A hand at the top left holds a silver ladle, pouring liquid into the fire, and a silver bowl with a patterned rim sits at the left edge containing liquid. Green leaves lie across the bricks, and a colourful striped cloth lies beneath the pit. This appears to be a fire ritual such as a homa or yagna. No people are visible other than the hand.2018-04-26 +1 copiesSeptember 09 20162016-09-09April 26 20182018-04-26 +1 copiesA photograph of a homa fire pit built from stacked bricks coated in yellow turmeric paste and outlined with red kumkum and white markings.
