A fire pit homa in progress: a yellow-painted brick fire pit with bright flames rising from it. A hand wearing a red thread bracelet and a ring pours liquid from a long metal ladle into the fire. Beside the pit sits a large engraved silver bowl of liquid, a small steel cup, pink flower petals scattered on the bricks, and a bundle of green leaves tied with a strand. Striped woven mats in red, purple and blue lie underneath. Only the hand is visible, no full figures appear.2018-05-29August 23 20182018-08-23June 04 20182018-06-04 +1 copiesJanuary 13 20182018-01-13April 26 20182018-04-26 +1 copiesPhoto 11717917 +2 copiesOctober 07 20182018-10-07Close view of a homa fire pit built from reddish-brown bricks, with a glowing ember fire at its centre and white and green petals scattered over the brick rim. A bare arm with a gold bangle reaches in from the right, holding a long-handled ladle over the fire. A silver bowl sits behind, and marigold garlands in yellow and maroon stand in a brass vessel on the left. A lit oil lamp glows at the right edge. No people's faces are visible.2011-11-10Close view of a fire ritual at a brick-lined homa pit with a blazing wood fire. A hand in a bangle-wearing wrist holds a long silver ladle pouring liquid into the flames, and a silver bowl of orange liquid sits beside the pit. The brick altar is marked with white and red kumkum-style dots, with red and yellow flower petals and a bowl of flowers nearby. A person in red cloth sits behind, but no face is visible; no a person candidate is shown, so the people count reflects only partially visible hands and clothing.2011-12-14November 10 20112011-11-10December 14 20112011-12-14December 10 20172017-12-10 +1 copies
