A homa fire burns in a raised yellow-edged stone fire pit against a black background. A silver bowl with a patterned rim sits at the left edge of the pit, and a green leafy offering lies to the right. On the right, a partially visible person wearing rust-red beaded garlands and a bangle tends the fire. No person's face or head is shown, and no a person candidate is visibly identifiable.2013-10-06Close photo of a homa fire in a wooden-framed fire pit at night. Orange flames rise from burning logs, and a silver vessel with a lid and handle sits at the left edge beside the fire. A person in a reddish-brown garment with bangles extends an arm over the fire, possibly offering into it; only the arm and torso are visible. A small glass vase with greenery sits at the right. No faces are visible.2013-10-06May 02 20172017-05-02A tall flame rises from a rectangular fire pit at night, its base framed by yellow and white flower petals and a red-edged border on a dark stone platform. Behind the fire, dimly lit, a robed figure with a shaved head stands near a gold-rimmed brass vessel, and a second figure in white and maroon garments stands further back, adorned with beaded garlands. A ceremonial gold necklace and a small framed image are visible at right.
