A figure in saffron-orange robes sits behind a rectangular brick fire pit with a tall flame rising from it, hands raised in prayer near the face. Pink and red flower petals and green leaves decorate the stone-edged pit, and brass vessels and a small offering dish sit to the right. The figure's orange robes and beaded necklace are visible, but the face is not clearly shown, so identity is uncertain.2007-09-17A night photograph of a homa fire burning in a brick-lined fire pit on the left, its tall orange flames lighting a dark outdoor setting.

A second person in white stands partly visible at the right edge. The rest of the background is in darkness.March 09 20142014-03-09A photograph of a homa fire burning in a brick-lined fire pit at night, with bright orange flames rising from the centre and yellow-dusted bricks and turmeric or flower offerings around the base.
