A photograph of a homa fire pit built from stacked yellow-brown bricks, with a bright flame burning inside and smoke rising. The pit is decorated with white and orange marigold garlands, red flowers and small offering sticks. In the background a seated figure wrapped in orange cloth sits behind the altar, with a silver kalasha, brass vessels, bananas, oranges and a white garland arranged on the table in front. Seated devotees in the background are partly visible, and stage equipment is faintly visible at the top.
