A central figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange-red robe, a long ceremonial garland and a rudraksha-style mala, sits on a low gold-legged seat behind the fire pit with one hand raised in blessing. Surrounding devotees in saffron and orange robes and red blouses sit cross-legged with palms pressed together in prayer, and a standing man in white robes stands at the back. A pedestal fan and string lights are visible in the background.2013-03-10Night-time homa at an outdoor ashram, with a large flaming fire pit built into a gold-coloured square platform in the foreground. Many devotees sit in rows behind it, most in saffron and orange robes with rudraksha malas, while others wear white. On the right a woman in a red sari with white flower garlands sits on a silver-framed chair, holding a tray of offerings near the fire. Brass pots and oil lamps sit on red rugs. A stone deity murti stands at centre-back beside a tall column, and an ornate ceremonial chair appears at top right.
