A small hammered brass or copper bowl sits on the pit's rim, with red flower petals and white powder scattered along the edges. Behind the fire, a partly visible person's hand holds a long ladle or stick, and a bead garland hangs at right. The setting appears to be a fire ritual with offerings. No faces are visible.2017-08-02August 14 20162016-08-14 +1 copiesAugust 22 20172017-08-22 +1 copiesFebruary 16 20162016-02-16 +2 copiesA homa fire burns in a rectangular fire pit on a ritual platform, with bright flames rising from burning wood and a saffron-and-cream cloth at the centre.

Sacred ash-like smoke drifts upward in the background.2016-02-16A tall, bright fire blazes upward from a wooden fire pit during a homa. Smoke curls around the flames. In the lower left, a metal cup and a brass vessel with a small oil lamp sit beside green leaves, and a strand of yellow marigold flowers lies on the wooden edge. A partially visible arm reaches in from the lower right. The background is warm and blurred. No person's face is visible.2015-01-04
