Close photo of a fire ritual (homa) in progress. A seated priest in red-orange robes and a red-beaded rudraksha bracelet sprinkles a dry substance into a flaming fire pit set on a stone base. Beside him, polished silver and gold-toned kalasha vessels and a metal tray hold offerings. Red and yellow cloth and garlands are visible in the blurred background. Only the priest's arm, torso and hands are visible, so the face is not shown; no identifiable a person features are shown.2018-03-03November 05 20172017-11-05A close photograph of a homa fire ritual. 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.2017-11-05Photo 11716377 +1 copiesMarch 03 20182018-03-03Photo 11716372Photo 11708921 +1 copiesPhoto 11716376Photo 11716371 +1 copiesPhoto 11716610 +1 copiesClose photo of a homa ritual at a brick fire pit.
