Photo 11717762August 23 20182018-08-23A photograph of a homa fire rising tall from a brick-lined fire pit. A long-handled metal ladle with a twisted handle pours ghee or liquid offering into the flames from the right, with golden drips falling beside the fire. A large polished metal bowl sits behind the pit, and marigold-like flowers and petals lie on the bricks. Soft green and gold blurred decorations fill the background. No people are clearly visible, only a hand holding the ladle at the edge of the frame.2011-11-10November 10 20112011-11-10December 28 20112011-12-28September 09 20162016-09-09Photo 11717917 +2 copiesDecember 28 20112011-12-28A homa fire burns in a yellow-edged square fire pit on a wooden floor.

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.2011-12-14
