A square homa fire pit built from red brick and dusted with white powder, with a small flame and wood burning at its centre. Yellow flower petals, kumkum-like marks and red and white powder decorate the bricks, and apples and oranges sit on the edges. A brass bowl of liquid stands at the left, a tray of nuts and dried fruit at the right, and a striped and green cloth covers the ground. No people are visible; the scene shows a homa fire during the Kumbhabhishekam ritual setup.2022-02-28June 20 20212021-06-20June 20 20212021-06-20KAILASA HOUSTON, USA on 2/28/20222022-02-28April 26 20182018-04-26 +1 copiesPhoto 11714866 +2 copiesJune 20 20212021-06-20 +1 copiesSeptember 11 20142014-09-11A photograph of a festive ritual inside a white tent with a large banyan tree backdrop.
