On a white tray at its base sit small bronze deity murtis, white flower petals and a few dark stones or offerings. Green foliage blurs in the background. No person's face is visible.2013-07-15Photo 11680411July 15 20132013-07-15August 19 20132013-08-19September 19 20112011-09-19 +1 copiesJanuary 02 20162016-01-02September 05 20162016-09-05A homa fire ritual in progress.
