A photograph of a homa ceremony in a open-sided hall with a fire blazing at the lower right. A central standing man wears an orange-saffron dhoti and wrap, a long gold necklace, and a tilak on his forehead, with his hands folded before him. Beside him a young boy in white dhoti and shawl has a white headband and stands barefoot. Around them, devotees in orange and red garments stand, several with hands joined in prayer, one holding rudraksha malas. An elderly man in white shirt and dhoti with a white beard stands at left. A white cloth covers a wooden stool, and a brass plate with flowers and leaves rests on the floor. Several people are visible, some partly cropped.

A photograph of a homa fire pit in the foreground with flames rising from a square stone pit, while a man in orange dhoti and orange cloth leans over the pit offering something into the fire.

A man in white clothes at the left holds a camera. Brass pots, plates of offerings and a kalasha sit at the pit's edge, and a gilded deity murti appears at the top left in the dim hall.
