A person in an orange-saffron cloth stands behind it, holding a long brass ladle over a copper bowl of offering liquid. A gold-framed seat with a red cushion, a basket of bananas and green fruit sit at left, and a colourful floor kolam lies in the background. Only partial hands and clothing are visible, so no face is shown. Appears to be a homa or yagna ritual.2016-10-29August 28 20182018-08-28September 04 20122012-09-04A photograph of a homa fire burning in a rectangular brick-lined fire pit, with bright orange flames rising on the left. A small hammered brass or copper bowl sits on the pit's rim, with red flower petals and white powder scattered along the edges. Behind the fire, a partly visible person's hand holds a long ladle or stick, and a bead garland hangs at right. The setting appears to be a fire ritual with offerings. No faces are visible.2017-08-02October 01 20112011-10-01August 25 20172017-08-25January 06 20192019-01-06
