Photo 11716379Close photo of a ritual fire on a stone mortar-like basin. A hand with a rudraksha bead bracelet and a gold ring places leaves onto a flame rising from dry straw. A tall silver oil lamp stands at right with a lit flame at its top, and another lamp glows at the upper right edge. No face is visible.2017-10-08A homa fire ritual is shown in close framing. A person wearing a maroon-red robe sits cross-legged, with only the lower body and hands visible; a bead mala hangs at the neck and one hand rests on a silver-capped staff. The other hand holds a bundle of dried grass dropped onto a dark stone fire pit where flames rise. Beside the pit sit a brass bowl with liquid, a stone grinding mortar with a black pestle, and ornate silver-lidded vessels on a pink and cream cloth.2017-11-05October 23 20172017-10-23October 08 20172017-10-08November 05 20172017-11-05September 02 20172017-09-02 +1 copiesA close-up photograph of a ritual fire in a stone bowl. A hand wearing a gold ring and a beaded rudraksha bracelet, with an orange-red sleeve, places green leaves into the flames. Bright yellow and white flames rise from dry straw in the stone vessel.

A seated figure in red-orange robes and rudraksha malas holds a golden ceremonial ladle or sceptre over a flame rising from a dark stone or metal fire pit. Silver and brass ritual vessels, a small bowl and a pestle-like implement sit in the foreground, with flowers in silver containers and a drum-like object at the right edge. Only the lower body, hands and forearms are visible, so no face is shown. The flame and smoke are the strongest visual focus, set against warm red fabric.2017-11-05October 23 20172017-10-23April 11 20182018-04-11 +1 copies
