A man in orange clothing sits beside a brick fire pit with a bright flame, holding a shallow silver plate of white grains or puffed rice in his left hand while his right arm reaches toward the fire with a brass bowl. He wears an orange turban, a saffron shawl over bare shoulders, multiple rudraksha malas, a long beaded necklace, and beaded bracelets on both arms. A brass oil lamp stands at left, and marigold flowers and leaves rest on the brick edge. Dark buildings and lights glow in the background. Visible concern: a homa or yagna offering.2019-03-17April 26 20182018-04-26 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated priest performing a fire ritual beside a yellow-painted brick fire pit with flames and a copper bowl set on top. He wears a rust-orange turban, rust-orange cloth, layered rudraksha malas, bangles and white tripundra marks on his forehead and arms, and holds a silver ladle lifting offerings toward the fire. Scattered orange and pink flowers lie at the base of the pit, with a blurred dark background.2018-04-03A man in orange-red robes sits cross-legged on a striped rug before a yellow-brick fire pit, pouring an offering with a long ladle into bright flames at night. He wears a red and orange turban, a long rudraksha mala with multiple strands, a silver pendant, and wristbands; white horizontal markings are painted on his bare upper arm and chest. Brass bowls, a covered vessel, pink flowers, and a silver lamp sit on the rug. A silver-backed chair and a dark red cushioned mat sit behind him. The scene appears to be a homa or fire offering.2018-06-04April 03 20182018-04-03A photograph of a homa fire ritual at night. A bare-chested priest with white sacred marks on his arms and chest, a rust-orange turban and a long rudraksha mala with gold ornaments sits on a silver chair. He holds a long ladle over a fire built on a stack of yellow bricks, decorated with grass and white grains. A brass bowl sits in front of the fire, with brass pots and a plate of flowers on a striped cloth. Behind him stand a stone pillar and a dark red mat. The priest appears to be a devotee-level performer; no identity is asserted from appearance.2018-06-04KAILASA FAMILIA PORTUGUESA, PORTUGAL on 1/21/20182018-01-21 +1 copies
