A photograph of a Hindu homa ritual at night. A shaved-headed man in saffron-orange robes and a gold necklace sits with palms pressed together in prayer before a carved wooden throne-like seat with a high ornate back. Beside him, two men in white dhotis and yellow shawls sit with hands folded, and another man in white and yellow stands behind them. Smoke rises from a fire pit at left, with banana trees framing the scene and a brass lamp and offerings on the mat. The orange-robed man's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, though the identification is uncertain from appearance alone.

A dim stone temple interior with thick carved pillars and a dark granite floor. Several saffron-robed men stand in a line, most shaved-headed and bare-chested, some with red sashes at the waist. In the centre, a robed priest in white dhoti with gold borders and a blue-and-gold shoulder cloth holds a lit lamp toward a small shrine or altar draped with red cloth. Another attendant stands at right, and a red cloth covers an object at left. Offerings and a lamp sit on the altar.

He holds a ladle or stick over the flame. A second man in white dhoti and shirt sits at right with a long ladle, and a third person in white sits partly hidden at left beside a mat covered with coconut shells and small brass and clay vessels, lamps and a plate of offerings. Tall white pillars frame the shrine and palm trees stand behind.
