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.2011-12-14June 04 20182018-06-04October 11 20182018-10-11August 09 20182018-08-09A close photograph of a homa fire pit built from yellow-painted brick with small red kumkum marks on the top edges. Flames rise from the centre of the pit. A hand holding a long brass ladle with a ringed finger pours or stirs liquid from a brass bowl. A second brass bowl filled with yellow liquid sits on the brick ledge beside the fire. Behind the pit, a striped purple and green cloth covers the floor, with a grinding stone, a woven basket and small brass vessels visible. Only a hand and arm are visible; no full person is shown.2017-12-10
