Close view of a homa or yagna fire burning on a stepped altar built from yellow-ochre blocks dotted with red kumkum marks and scattered white flower petals or puffed grains. Flames rise from wooden logs in the centre. Behind the fire, a person in orange-red robes stands, with only the lower body and a hand visible. Two women in red and orange saris are partly visible at the left edge, one wearing gold bangles. A white marble-like structure and red flowers appear at the top right.
